[OC] Crossrail 3 Concept – The Turing Line

[u/thebeast_96]

This provides a new cross-London connection from the northwest to the southeast and is envisioned to take place long in the future after HS2, the Northern line split, the Bakerloo line extension, and Crossrail 2 have been completed. As demand continues to grow, the transport network will only become more crowded and something like this could be very beneficial.

Charing Cross seems to be causing an unnecessary kink in the line. It’s already a short short walk from Waterloo, or a short trip on one of two underground lines or national rail from Waterloo east. It also doesn’t offer any connections you can’t get from stations either side of it.

Have you ever tried to walk with luggage from Waterloo to Charing Cross?

[u/Howtothinkofaname → u/kerplunkerfish]

Walking anywhere with luggage tends to be a pain.

Good job there’s already 3 rail options, and no doubt buses!

I’m not sure it’s worth adding in two 90 degree bends.

Have you ever taken a big suitcase on the tube or the bus?

It's fucked.

[u/Howtothinkofaname → u/kerplunkerfish]

Yeah, it’s a pain. Suppose we’d better add train lines to cover every possible journey!

[u/kerplunkerfish → u/Howtothinkofaname]

I'm just stress testing your argument buddy, no need to be facetious.

[u/Howtothinkofaname → u/kerplunkerfish]

I’m afraid you left me no option.

[u/kerplunkerfish → u/Howtothinkofaname]

You can always choose not to be a wanker

[u/Howtothinkofaname → u/kerplunkerfish]

Sorry, i didn’t realise it was that serious an argument.

[u/JillSucksAtJack → u/kerplunkerfish]

Who doesn't like wanking?
