The new Crossrail line which is already being mentioned in local papers is scheduled to go from Heathrow via Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Paddington and Canary Wharf to Excel.
I've seen the building works cutting off Tottenham Court Road station at the end of Oxford Street.
I was trying to calculate times of travel.
I've also seen the building works Farringdon station, near to Comptoir Gasgon restaurant (see my review in a previous post and on TripAdvisor) and Barts Pathology Museum. What a pity the Crossrail line does not connect Heathrow to City Airport.
2019 - some of us will be retired or dead by then. At least if you have a five year travel plan, you can put visit London on your list for 2019. MeanwhileI am watching progress.
What will happen is good news. But must we wait until 2019? No. Some of it will be open earlier.
The Farringdon station underground is currently open. Out in the street you can see the wonderful old mainline building with its art deco facade still standing waiting, I hope, for renovation, all curves and parallel lines and faces. (Or is it art nouveau?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground_stations_that_are_listed_buildings
I do like the look of the new art work letting light from the ceiling or changing lights to it will change every day.
