Looks like Crossrail is being extended to Reading. Formal announcement tomorrow morning. This is already being covered in the other "Extending Crossrail to Reading" thread here: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=1109.0 Of course if this really does get announced, that secondary thread will be superfluous...

Please refer to the previous post to yours - it's already being discussed in detail in its own thread... Paul |

Please accept my apologies. I just found it odd that you'd post duplicate info as well. Paul |

Though the revised Airport Junction is hot on its heels.
The curved steel frame section that has been undergoing construction on the approach was jacked around the bend over Easter. |

There is evidence of trial pits having been dug for OLE▸ structures between Maidenhead and Taplow and evidence of markings for other locations east of Taplow. Foundation piling cannot be far away

Balfour Beatty will start installing driven steel pile OLE▸ foundations between Maidenhead and Burnham in August during the night. so if you want to see a pair of class 20's they will be in action, the piles will be driven in by RRV▸ so you will not see the HOPS in the Crossrail area

The benefit/cost ratios seem to be adverse yet it is still being done because it is the right thing to do. Wonder whether this applies in other cases! |

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

All part of the process of applying for the money, is my guess. Treasury Rules will insist on it in every case. I am guessing that accessibility and equality cases can trump purely financial considerations to a point. If it weren't, the consultants would have massaged the stats a bit more. |
