We're all waiting patiently for the #PurpleTrain to come along.
In the meantime, we've compiled some surprising facts for you.
So surprising in fact, that you should check the date on which this video was published.
Ahhh, but it would be amazing to see Crossrail trains running on the Isle of Wight, right?
The official Crossrail TfL website is here: tfl.gov.uk/travel-information...

I genuinely started to believe everything in this video... until I got to the "Crossrail trains are the same size as Tube trains", I thought that cant be right... then the Crossmail really made me suspicious until Geoff's sneaky "HA GOTCHA, APRIL FOOLS" face. Nice one Geoff, I'm not even angry I fell for this XD

For those reading this in 2040 looking forward to The William Line's planned opening next year here's an interesting secret you might have missed. Originally the line was going to be called The Elizabeth Line because of the old Queen Elizabeth. When she died they hastily renamed it The Charles Line but it never operated as that either.
