Actually the Government has said "Hmmmm Crossrail.... that's a good
idea." They aren't willing to pay for it. Its going to be up to private
finance to fund 90% of the project. It won't be till November 2004 that
the legislation will be in place. And then they have to try and decide
on the right route.
