Just when I was getting some work done too.You don't wanna do that! Many of us think that Crossrail as proposed is a mistake, and tried to plan several European rail journeys recently, I think that the Paris RER lines were too. Having to cross between Paris terminals on inter-city services are a pain. How many people actually travel end to end on these RER lines? Its the long distance services that should use the tunnels, not the short distance ones, or all of them. Brussels has a suberb cross-city rail tunnel for all-comers. Its an absolute pleasure to use. Paris needs to concentrate its TGVs on one station. I'm pretty sure there'd be a way to get them all into the Gare de Lyon. With all of the infinitely cheaper Crossrail alternatives being proposed, don't forget the Waterloo & City Line. There are many possibilities, but a Liverpool Street to Waterloo service would do much to relieve the Central Line, and a station at Blackfriars would be useful too. Nice idea. |
