Trouble For Crossrail At Shenfield

In my piece on Crossrail 2 through  East London, when discussing how Crossrail 2 will be built, I said this.

Crossrail 1 was built rather traditionally, in that the tunnels have been bored first and then the stations have been created.  One thing that surprised me was that the surface sections, which have nothing to do with the tunnels were not prepared for Crossrail 1 a lot earlier.

So now because they didn’t sort out Shenfield station years ago, the adding of the required additional platform at the station has caused problems, with the parking. This report on the Brentwood Gazette explains it all.

I do wonder, if those inconvenienced and loudly complaining about the lack of a place to park the 4×4, belong to a faction, that think Crossrail is a total waste of money and will never use the line when it opens.
