Bromley unemployment benefit claims the highest in London, new report shows
The borough of Bromley has topped London when it comes to the number of residents forced to claim unemployment benefits during the coronavirus…www.newsshopper.co.uk
Bromley is not on the crossrail route. Crossrail will just bring even more people to compete with the good folk of Bromley for London-based jobs.

Never would be my guess, I suppose the plans might be dusted off in 2045 or something.

right after this urgent rest
Apart from new trains, has that service actually changed with Crossrail? I mean are there more of them or are they faster than previously? Used to be about six an hour out to Hayes and West Drayton, as far as I recall.

could a passing mod pls give this thread a more apt and meaningful title? something about ground to a halt outside the station would seem appropriate.

Stick them all in Stormont, don’t think the locals can be bothered to do anything with it. That’d definitely go down well...

How hard can it be to run trains through a tunnel? Why does it take an extra few years to sort out the unexpected signalling? It's not like it shares some track with the circle line or something.

The following psytrance is baṉned: All
It shares track with the Great Western, Great Eastern, North Kent and Heathrow services, with different signalling systems on different parts of the network. It's not the only source of delay, but it's not a simple matter.How hard can it be to run trains through a tunnel? Why does it take an extra few years to sort out the unexpected signalling?

One feature of South East London is how few underground stations it has, a cursory glance at the underground map through the ages demonstrates that.
For many, possibly incomers, South East London was a mystery, places such as Brockley, Grove Park, Lee, Sydenham, were mythical lands.
Since the DLR to Lewisham things have changed there quite dramatically, and now there is the Crossrail, which thankfully misses most of the badlands of beautiful South East London.
The game on the BBC, ‘Mornington Crescent’ reinforced the mystique.
Who wants a commonplace Barons Court when you can have a Ladywell?
