Interesting comment from Charlie about Sydney.
Turning to another city, it’s funny how Oslo is cited by subterranean road supporters as an example of how the London fantasy could become a working reality. In Oslo we are talking of a low density city with just 500k inhabitants, and even there we see major land take for tunnel access points. Norwegian planners are pathological when it comes to tunnels. When faced with a natural obstacle, their natural inclination is to tunnel through it, and bugger the social, environmental and financial costs involved.
In London it’s a complete non-starter.
