.... We had luggage, so the bus, which we utilized, was not a great option. When (if?) the new Crossrail station at Custom House opens, there'll certainly be an opening (if not a need) for a direct bus link between it and City Airport. That probably depends how busy the Airport becomes. Do you still have confidence that Crossrail construction will proceed on a timely basis?

Airport by bus - whether London Bus route 69 (not sure when it started linking the two places though - perhaps on the opening of the Jubilee line extension?) or by the dedicated airport shuttle bus, though the latter was pricey. When (if?) the new Crossrail station at Custom House opens, there'll certainly be an opening (if not a need) for a direct bus link between it and City Airport.

..., I think I've flown through three of them within the last year. I was even in New York two weeks ago. There, I reflected on how pleasant American Airlines's new terminal was, how short the queues for check-in and security were, and how seamless the transition from their old terminal was, especially when compared to BA's recent T5 fiasco. This is a whole world of YMMV....
... journeys from a small number of town near London to a small number of places within London will suddenly overcome all other perceived problems? You seem to miss that the purpose of Crossrail has nowt to do with the outer branches. It's all about the tunnel in the middle relieving existing tube lines to the City, Docklands, Stratford, etc. The GWML is simply a convenient ...

If Crossrail could be done at a reasonable cost it would be fine - but the expenditure proposed is just ridiculous. Ian
