Its called the "sparks effect" well known phenomena when a railway is electrified. The house prices in the Maidenhead area are absurd anyway but that the consequence of living in an area that has such good communication links. There was chatter a while ago of FGW▸ investigating with NR» if a twice hourly service on the Marlow branch is possible, I feel Crossrail is the bases for this. I believe the area where property values will benefit the most from Crossrail is Greenwich / Abbey Wood. So with the increased wealth the railways has generated for people an increase in fares is not an issue  (I'm joking honist guv) |

As one whose house is in the Crossrail lollipop here's a question for you all.
Where should I move to to cash in on my bonanza.
There are some criteria, must have good public transport bus and rail, reasonably level, easy acess to Morrisons )Waitrose adequate health care reasonable climate so not the East Coast or Bristol

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Nailsea & Backwell Station. Reasonably level? Pull the other one. |

Many I speak to speak fondly of it. Once a year there is an event at the STEAM museum where a steam powered hooter is sounded on the hour which brings back memories for many. |
