Why backers of crap Crossrail want £30+ BN of Taxpayers - Superlink's address
04-09-2007 15:40
I did not know the proper address for Superlink but I found it so here it is - no doubt Crossrail have been trying to sabotage the truth coming out but hey...
http://www.superlinklondon.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ If I did not know the address of Superlink, the alternative to Crossrail. I can hardly be backing them but I will say that if successful railway planners, who have delivered successful railway projects such as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and the Eurotunnel are saying the scheme is rubbish while at the same time giving you the true cost of their scheme and its benefits without £400 million of taxpayers money that Crossrail spent - Why is a Select Committee chosen by Blair, the Government and Ken so ready to give taxpayers money away without Crossrail being subject to proper investigation? The backers of Crossrail on this website have been asked to provide the proof of how it will provide benefits outside the City and Canary Wharf in London and guarantee that taxpayers will not be left with a financial millstone. Guess what there is silence.
