Hi - I'm not sure if this is something I'm wondering and alone in with opinion, but has the Crossrail on the slow rather than fast GEML services been a big mistake?
I was just wondering whether crossrail trains could have gone to Clacton/southend/Ipswich/Harwich etc leaving only the Norwich and WAML services and the shenfield metro services into the shed - that would have freed capacity more so at liv st, on the GEML, WAML and further across the field?
Didn't crossrail think of this before only operating on a bottleneck on the shenfield line? :-?
