Will Crossrail 2 Get Development Finance In The Budget?

This report in The Independent is entitled Crossrail 2 proposal receives £100m Budget boost from Chancellor. Here’s the first two paragraphs.

Plans for a £20bn railway running between north-east and south-west London will be handed a boost with a slug of funding from the Treasury in next week’s Budget.

It is understood that the Chancellor, George Osborne, is preparing to give more than £100m to develop the Crossrail 2 proposal. This includes working out the finer details of the route, technical assessments and identifying potential planning issues, before a decade-long construction programme starts in 2020.

If it’s true, it’s short term bad news for me, as more and more Estate Agents will be pouring leaflets through my door, in the hope, they can make a quick killing.

But seriously though Crossrail 2 is needed to connect Tottenham and Wimbledon. With the new double-ended station at Dalston, I will have better connections to the West End, Euston and Victoria.
