Re: Britain's slandered transport system?... (none / 0)

The concept of French RER is that you link two or moreexisting lines (coming from opposite side of the city) by an underground tunnel... Not really creating new lines. Usually the places which you want to connect crossrail to already have lines.

Crossrail is a new line, with its own new tunnel, I believe.

Precisely. Crossrail was inspired by the RER.
