The Fifteen Billion Pound Railway Audience Reviews

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Parker Lewis I'm not sure which entered the vocabulary first, Crossrail or Crossfit, but I've enjoyed catching this series. So far I've watched the third episode of season 1, and the first episode of season 2. What was interesting was seeing the artist's impressions of Crossrail depicted an incredibly high number of people in suits, but no chavs or homeless people. It didn't depict arrogant/aspergic white business men stalking millimeters behind innocent passengers walking to the platform, or grumpy bearded professors rushing to catch their train, only to break into anguish because they've missed it, even though the next train is just around the tunnel LOL!I would have liked to have seen more of the upstairs/downstairs aspect, given the British fondness for this. I would have liked some of the series to focus on the cleaners and other essential staff.At the time of screening of season 1, Brexit wasn't even in the vocabulary, David Cameron was preparing for the 2015 general election.I almost expected Midsomer Murders to get into swing with the discovery of skeletons - it was an emergency burial groun.Finsbury Circus has been appropriated by rail workers until 2018, but locals who have their jaguars in their million dollar garage, typically complain about oasis lost, moaning, oh dear. the installation of elevator was interesting, and I can imagine arrogant business folk getting upset if anyone's in their way.All the Crossrail pieces reminded of a sophisticated Ikea.100K pounds per day is the penalty Crossrail pays if they fall behind...100K pounds is enough to buy 8 semi-detached houses in Carlisle, which is on the Scottish border.I really hope the authorities that be dedicate the Crossrail to Jean Charles de Menezes.
