Boris Johnson launches Crossrail 2 consultation
Public urged to have their say over Crossrail T2
A public consultation is being launched over the proposed route for London's new rail link, Crossrail 2.
There's two routes to choose from - the Metro scheme and Regional scheme - which could half journey times for some commuters.
The Metro scheme would go from Wimbledon to Alexandra Palace, mostly underground, stopping at Clapham Junction, Victoria and Euston.
The Regional scheme would take in the same central Wimbledon to Alexandra Palace route, but would stretch south west of Wimbledon into Surbiton and Kingston.
The consultation will be opened by Boris Johnson at Wimbledon Station this morning and will run until August 2.

All England Club chairman defends prize rise
All England Club chairman Philip Brook has defended the decision to offer the largest purse in tennis history at this year's Wimbledon Championships.
Prize money has been a hot topic in recent years and there has even been talk of potential strikes due to players' frustrations.
Wimbledon have moved to head off such unrest by revealing a 40 per cent increase in prize money for this summer's tournament, with the £22.6million pot the largest in the sport's history.
The new investment was announced today at the All England Club in south west London, where Brook was asked to justify the increased investment at a time when the country is struggling:
– Philip Brook, All England Club chairmanThe economic climate is difficult, I would accept that.
I think we have to accept that the world that we live in is a world where we are competing with other international tennis events.
We also keep an eye on what is happening in other sports and we do think that this is a moment in time in terms of how we could respond to a subject that has been talked about a lot over the last 18 months.
We've chosen to make these increases this year because we think it is the right thing to do.
