Crossrail

[oily oaf]

After 750 years in the planning stages Crossrail, a combined underground and mainline line rail link across London costing 16 billion sovs has finally been given the green light by HM Government.
Now before people the length and breadth of Britain start banging on about how "London gets everything" can I just say 2 things?

a) It's not my fault

and

b) I'll be dead before it's finished


Oh and anything that gives the ailing and much maligned engineering industry in this country an almighty shot in the arm and creates 30,000 new jobs is OK by me.

As you were

Just say that. Plus from the look of it a lot of roads are only busy in one direction at one time of the day. How about encouraging people not to work in the big population centres.
