Tuesday 24th May Crossrail Opening

[PeterH]

I’m not sure a date was agreed? I can’t do Tuesdays in any event.  Probably best to wait a few weeks to let the novelty wear off?

This was discussed at the recent committee meeting and an idea was born.

Later in the year, how about we all meet at the Crossrail station in Canary Wharf (train to London Bridge then Jubilee line) and take a day out on the railway?
You can view many stations without going through the barriers, cheaper for those of us that pay for travel.
As it's underground and sheltered, this could be done later in the year. Anoraks optional  Would find a nice cafe or bar to relax in of course.

Who is interested?

Count me in.

Hi,

Some inspiration for a trip on Crossrail:

I'm thinking Woolwich might be worth a pop-up visit and will look at what you can see outside on the Shenfield branch.
