Hold on a minute somebody has performed a right hatchet job on what was here on this topic on the Great Central Railway article, and for some inexplicable reason has lopped off huge amounts of text. Can whoever did made this mess please restore the old text in its full detail. G-Man * 16:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Channel Tunnel
As I understand it, the Channel Tunnel project of the early 1880s was clearly in abeyance by the time a firm decision was made to build the London Extenstion. It's true that the line was built to a loading gauge that would have allowed through traffic from contintal railways. But I'm not sure the possibility of international through trains could be considered the raison d'etre for the line as claimed in the Traffic on the London Extesion. So my thoughts are:
- does the stuff about Channel Tunnel really need to be there at all?
- there should be more information on the traffic that the line did carry, perhaps including beyond regrouping and nationalisation.
