KHOODEELAAR! evidential dissection of the latest instance of crass propaganda for ‘CRASSrail’ by one of the Big Business agenda-peddling web sites.

KHOODEELAAR! evidential dissection of the latest instance of crass propaganda for ‘CRASSrail’ by one of the Big Business agenda-peddling web sites... They keep doing it. They are lying when they put the word ‘Crossrail’ where the word ‘train’ or railway’ or ‘rail’ should be used. This is not a careless act on their part. This is a deliberately corrupt act. They have been doing this on every aspect of the crassly conceived scam. They have been even trying to replace the word ‘transport’ by the word ‘Crossrail’. [To be continued]




Growth talks for Crossrail
Planning, 27 March 2009
Transport secretary Geoff Hoon visited Ebbsfleet and Dartford in Kent last week to discuss extending Crossrail services to the Thames Gateway area.
The government is working with councils and local stakeholders to safeguard a route in north Kent. Bringing Crossrail to the area would give regeneration plans a substantial boost, according to Kent Thameside Regeneration Partnership chairman Kevin Lynes.
During the visit, Hoon also viewed plans for two domestic rail platforms at Ebbsfleet station and an extended 9,000-space park-and-ride facility, which are both set to open in December.
Inspecting the progress of the work, he said: "Ebbsfleet has successfully served high- speed international rail for some time and I am delighted that passengers on domestic services travelling to London and the South East coast are to benefit from faster journey times."
Lynes added: "The secretary of state has seen how the high-speed rail link is already bringing tremendous focus to Kent Thameside. We aim to deliver more than 25,000 homes and 50,000 jobs over the next 20 years.
"Joining up Dartford with Crossrail will be an added boost for the regeneration of the north Kent area by establishing a direct rail link between Ebbsfleet, Docklands, the City of London and Heathrow," he insisted.
"This will be an added incentive in persuading businesses to locate to Kent Thameside and create additional job opportunities for local people."
