SEATS STILL AVAILABLE

摘要

It will be the largest single addition to the London transport network for over 50 years - as long as it goes ahead. The £15.9bn mission to bore an east-west railway through London - some 118km of tracks - got under way in earnest this year, with completion due in 2017. Of course, the fear remains that the Tories might abandon the whole thing if they win next year's general election, but the vocal support of London mayor Boris Johnson and the recent news that spending on the scheme will already have reached about £3bn by then are encouraging signs.
