The Mayor's 2020 Vision Statement is at:
4263da7bf3e189a68e18-826038b0dd871a0b7f03ba4eedbf81a1.r53.cf3.rackcdn.com/2020_vision_web.pdf
It starts with an amazing credibility sapping assertion:
"Exactly as promised, the new high speed Javelin lunged back and
forth, taking passengers from King’s Cross to the Games in six
minutes."
Now given that the Javelin/395s would have had to undertake a complex series of reversals via the NLL, and the North London Incline to reach Kings Cross, that is a blistering performance. I wonder if any passengers suffered whiplash during the zigzagging required? 
RP has highlighted some of the rail elements in the plan in his posts elsewhere on DD's.

And which M4 bridge is he referring just before the great quote above?

Has Boris For News For You - It does not matter if there it is inaccurate as it's Boris! Great ambassador for London however with regards to rail transport his ideas etc are remarkably similar to his predecessor and both have been a thorn of the side of Government of the day which is great to see as they have both championed London's needs.

Hammersmith flyover which emerged at the end of 2011, and resulted in its full, and then partial, closure for five months. kings Cross/ St Pancras : A4/M4 - any more? |

I think it was the elevated section of the M4 between Chiswick Roundabout and Boston Manor (My Games field) Also, i'm not exactly how sure how we may create the 'flyunder' at Hammersmith. There's the Picc + District under Butterwick and if they somehow use Cut and Cover, oh no... |
