“If this is true, it will be a triumph of common sense and forward thinking on the part of the coalition government. It would have been a massive shame to not realise the potential uplift in transport connectivity in the north west of London by connecting Crossrail at Willesden Junction, with its access to the west coast lines and the North London orbital and Bakerloo lines.
