Just how many extra lines are there on that map? Someone is being a tad optimistic. Just looking at it, it looks wrong.

Am feeling profoundly shattered after a lovely weekend. Am feeling a bit rubbish for messing around and worrying a few people by being useless and not being where I said I may be at various point at the weekend, but I can't be everywhere at once. Eeeeep.

Well, it is a map of proposed changes rather than approved ones.

Having said which, Crossrail and some of the line extensions are definite. The DLR extension past City Airport is well advanced already.

Crossrail is definite? Ooh.

As far as I can tell. The way it's discussed doesn't make it sound like a vague proposal any more.

Having said which, apparently the announcement or non-announcement of funding is due this afternoon.

And sadly failed to get a mention. Which makes you wonder why not and what they are playing at, as as you say, it looks like a fairly solid proposal now.

They've started on the T5 extension as well. What they don't show on the map is that this will involve running a second set of lines alongside the existing ones, as T5 trauns will run fast nonstop from Acton Town to Heathrow 123.

Ooooooh. Fast tube trains to Heathrow. Now that's a good plan. :)

Would be a good idea for all the tube lines, if it wasn't such an engineering nightmare.
