Let's integrate HS3 and Crossrail 2

Updated September 2019

Elsewhere I have argued that HS3 should serve maximum population density. Crossrail 2 gained momentum with the announcement in January 2015, covered by Railway Gazette and others, that consultants have been appointed to work up the scheme. How about integrating these projects?

Clearly High Speed and Crossrail would need separate tunnels, but linking the two at some stations would improve access. It would involve smart timetabling.



I'm not sure we should put London First, as in the campaign above, but ought to consider what would be best for the whole country. In other words, let's add HS3 thinking to the existing Crossrail 2 concept. That would give us great access to and across the city.
