There's been a lot of discussion about the value for money of the Crossrail scheme. Doubts over the funding of its £16bn cost are rife at the moment given the financial problems affecting the country. I've made a post on the CANBER website containing details of what I think would make the whole project much better value for money at little extra cost. In summary it involves utilising existing infrastructure to provide a service west from Paddington via Greenford and Ruislip to High Wycombe.
