Do you launch a train perhaps that's what's causing the problem get some lads out of the The Railway Inn to push start it. Might work

And money keeps flowing to rich investors.

Don’t worry London. The rest of the Country will pay for any additional costs...

And these clowns want to run all trains within M25. God help us!

I was in London today, people were Literally queuing waiting for this to open..... Ffs, its an economy builder. It'll do fuck all for traffic, fuck all for all but a handful of commuters. Surely, no one gives a shit about this latest profiteering blunder!?

Oh!!! Didn’t see that coming 😂

Should be funding the North anyway. They need to scrap HS2 as well

Karma for scrapping electrification projects in the north of England

I have a friend who works at Crossrail who has already confirmed its well known amongst their colleagues that it won’t be ready in 2019.
