HZ123 as optimistic as ever.
Cross rail now been given the go ahead. Yep its 10 years in the making. But it represents another potential boost for SEN surely.
If, or should we say when the new station is built on the very same line that connects direct to Liverpool Street and to Shenfield. Then connects to Cross rail, which in turn connects to Heathrow and vice versa.
This also represents a potential boost to the Thames Gateway which will benefit as a result from increased demand in housing, and therefore regeneration along the Gateway and potentially more demand for SEN in the future.
I only write this as it has been written on other threads about other aiports in the SE also looking forward, who crave and talk about plans for a descent infrastucture to and from the airport.
Well a good rail link for the airport is already in the making at Southend. A better rail link across the London is also in the making.
