Anyone watching 'The 15 Billion Pound Railway'?
Crossrail.
Absolutely fascinating engineering project.
Because of RL matters I'm watching it on delay, but I'm taking a bit of a professional interest.
The first series was very much about Crossrail so I don't know if they're going to mention it, but part of the reason Farringdon Station is so important is that it's the point at which the East-West Crossrail line intersects the North-South Thameslink line - when everything's finished, it will be seeing something over 150 trains an hour!
