Crossrail Goes To Reading

I talked about this happening in this post nearly a year ago.

Now according to various reports like this one in Modern Railways, it’s going to happen.

I do think sometimes that the planning of Crossrail wasn’t done by those possessed of great imagination, unlike some of those involved in the actual building of the railway.

Extending to Reading would appear to be an improvement that doesn’t need much new infrastructure or trains.

If you look at extending the Shenfield branch of Crossrail, there is no suitable station, as the only large conurbation; Chelmsford has a very cramped station.
