the Crossrail 2 is vital for expanding capital | Letters
Labour parliamentary candidate Catherine West says the train line project is vital, and questions the government’s commitment to it, while Jonathan Marsden calls for more rail spending in the north
For those living in and around London the omission of Crossrail 2 from the Tory manifesto is distressing. Capacity is stretched and commutes are becoming miserable. Simply put, the project is no longer a “nice to have” option, it is necessary; those at Transport for London feel the scheme is critical.
Transport infrastructure needs to be upgraded and improved across the whole of the UK – that is why Labour will build a Crossrail of the north – but it is important that London also gets the upgrades it needs. Research shows that infrastructure investment in London directly benefits many parts of the rest of the country.
