8.2 Our vision<br />

London’s radial rail routes deliver passengers to the fringe of central London and onto the<br />

London Underground network within the Circle Line (see Diagram A above).With the<br />

exception of the existing limited Thameslink and West London Line services,which make<br />

possible direct journeys between Bedford and Brighton,Rugby and Gatwick,there are no<br />

through routes which allow passengers to make cross-London rail journeys without a change<br />

of transport mode.<br />
