We are proposing a Crossrail 2 circular service via Reading. The service would operate clockwise and anti-clockwise on the following route :

Broxbourne, St Pancras, Victoria, Clapham Junction, Wimbledon, Surbiton, Weybridge, Woking, Brookwood, Camberley, Wokingham, Reading, Oxford, Aylesbury, Rickmansworth, Watford Junction, Stevenage, Ware and Broxbourne.

This route can be followed on our summary diagrammatic map :

We hypothesise that such a service might contribute to a reduction in car dependency and of congestion on the M25 motorway, that is, significant modal shift to rail.

Without Crossrail 2, a modified version of such a service might operate from London Waterloo to either Kings Cross or Moorgate or Liverpool Street.

We propose east west rail in Hertfordshire with a new rail corridor Rickmansworth, Watford Junction, St Albans Abbey, London Colney, Hatfield, Welwyn, Stevenage, Ware, Harlow Town.

As part of this proposal, we propose an extension of the Abbey line from St Albans Abbey via London Colney to Hatfield.

We are proposing a station stop on High Speed 2 in the vicinity of Aylesbury.

A Crossrail 2 circular service via Reading is dependent on the first two of the three projects listed above.
