why oh why was Old Oak Common Crossrail depot placed right next to Old Oak Common Station. This area would be prime for development land (such as what happened at Stratford post 2012 Olympics) but all the space is wasted by the depot. Could the depot be covered over and made into a large green park and new buildings be built around the station to create a mini city within a city for London and make the area into a new better less car centric Stratford? Was it simply a case of poor planning from the dft?
@@enemyofthestatewearein7945 oh i know. I just think its poor that the government doesnt have a national infastrucutre plan so that things like this can be thought of before its too late.

This is great!

@@cameronallan5624 Timing, the Crossrail depot was planned first.

Fantastic visual here, very helpful
awesome animations - only improvement would be to keep a constant timeline rather than flicking back to the start for each new view
Amazing! (Except all the poor construction workers who get sealed inside the thing they're building 😬)
Foolish comment
@@stuartbee5716 miserable man
What is the reason for the 'top down' construction? is it due to the confines of the site?
