"Your headline is absolutely accurate. And appropriate. In fact the evidence shows that transport, not OTT-hyped ploys for devious interests intent on abusing public resources, is what deserves high and intelligent attention of decision-makers. As UK finance Minister, Gordon Brown had asked an aviation industry man Rod Eddington to take a deep look at the railways. He concluded in effect by adding to the argument that transport was vital. Yet as Channel 4 News commented in October 2007, Gordon Brown ignored his advice and went ahead with the commitment to fund Crossrail to the tune of £Billions. Even the US business affairs journal Forbes reported earlier that Eddington had NOT endorsed Crossrail. So will Brown do the right thing even at this stage and scrap Crossrail? Will he admit that the existing London transport infrastructure needs serious attention? As Simon Jenkins pointed out in the EVENING STANDARD on 30 April 2009, will Boris do it? Will the ECONOMIST magazine’s extensive report along the same line find acceptance at the UK Treasury? Will they listen to long time promoter of Ken Livingstone's Crossrail slogan, the London School of Economist ‘expert’ Tony Travers [who has now changed his tune and is more in line with what the many independent sources cited above are saying] and prioritise the London Underground?"
