    You are missing the point snaw - if 7 mln people from outside greater London travel to London, then this is exactly why there should be incentives in place to ensure businesses that they travel to are located OUTSIDE of Greater London, this would cut down congestion big time and save taxpayers money!

    Anyone outside M25 should not really have to travel to London - if they do then something is wrong here because it is a non-sustaintable situation that only increases costs and congestion - new Crossrail will only carry a fraction of those millions that you allege travel to London, which is exactly why it is NOT a solution, and solution is to have ways that would make such travel to London from outside of it unnecessary unless it is for tourist like reasons.

      Outside greater London doesn't nesecarily mean outside the M25 - it simply means you don't have a London postcode, in my part of London that equates to two more stops in the train through uninterrupted cityscape. Greater London isn't anything other than a political and bureaucratic definition. The actual city just keeps going. Which part of this can't you get your head around?

      The new crossrail is project to projected to carry 10% of the now 1 billion people who use the tube every year AtW. That's a lot of people.
