This blog seeks to gather publicly available links to consultation responses to the Crossrail 2 consultation of late 2015. Because of the sheer scale of the scheme, this will focus on Merton & Wandsworth, with just a few others. Those links below are simply those I've been able to find. No political or opinion bias is intended. If a response is missing, please add a comment.
Merton:
- Stephen Hammond MP - Conservative MP for Wimbledon
- Merton Council - Cross-party response
- David Dean - Conservative councillor for Dundonald
- Love Wimbledon BID - Wimbledon business group
- Merton Chamber of Commerce

My response as an individual blogger was based on the Swirl-Max plan. I also argued for:
- a second "destination" station in Central London, preferably linked to Green Park
- passive provision for four platforms at Victoria (for Crossrail 3 or 4)
- passive provision for four platforms at Clapham Junction (for Crossrail 3 or 4)
- a station at Stoke Newington
- Alexandra Palace and Turnpike Lane, not Wood Green
I hope this data will prove useful to someone! However, it is very incomplete as there must be responses from many other organizations. If you know of a response from an organization or politician, use the comments to tell us!

They've also got a page covering CR2 interaction to date here:

I know its a bit out of your area, but the resource is pretty decent.
Thanks for the link!
DeleteFrom the Transport for a World City report ... Tunnels are cheaper than stations ... hence Fast Track Tunnels are cheaper than Tunnels with Stations
ReplyDelete"TfL has been examining options for the current proposed Crossrail 2 route since 2008. In identifying the current route, over 100 options along a south-west to north east corridor were considered which covered a range of destinations. The cost of the current proposed scheme is estimated by TfL at £32.6bn, of this 33% (£10.8bn) is for stations, 12% (£4bn) is for tunnelling and 4% (1.4bn) is for rolling stock.".
