London's delay-hit Crossrail scheme has been held up again and will not open until the "first half of 2022", the developer of the troubled multi-billion pound project has said. Even before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the budget-busting east-west line through the capital, stretching from Berkshire to Essex, had repeatedly missed deadlines since failing to meet the original target of December 2018. In March, Transport for London (TfL) said it was suspending building work at sites, including Crossrail , to limit the spread of COVID-19 . While construction has restarted, social distancing means a maximum of 2,000 people are now allowed on Crossrail sites, which is less than 50% of the staffing levels prior to the public health crisis. In a statement, Crossrail Limited, the company responsible for the project, said: "Delivery of the Elizabeth line is now in its complex final stages and is being completed at a time of great uncertainty due to the … [Read more...] about London’s Crossrail shunted by further delay as cost threatens to rise by £1.1bn

A BROKE mum became a millionaire after coming up with her own baby mat idea while on maternity leave - starting a company now worth £3m (US$4m). Mum-of-two Alana Hands, 41, saw a need for nicer looking, and safer, foam play mats for her kids after spending $300 (£169/US$240) on a "very ugly" design which led to her son's injury. When her first child Chloe was born in 2013, she purchased the pricey foam mat with pull-out letters which she also used three years later for her second baby, Rupurt. But Alana, from Brisbane, Australia, said she'd turned away for a minute and in that time he'd "pulled he puzzle pieces apart", fell forward and hurt his head. That's when she got the idea to create her own, and within just 30 minutes of launching a website she'd sold her first one - which led her to rake in over $200k (£113K/US$160k) in the first year alone. Alana told her story to Kidspot: “Rupert was six months old, trying to crawl on our ABC playmat and he’d pulled the … [Read more...] about I was a broke new mum when I came up with a genius baby mat idea – now my company is worth £3m

GTA fans are hoping Rockstar will debut a new game later today. It's been EIGHT years since the last entry to the series – Grand Theft Auto 5 – launched. Tonight Sony is hosting a special PlayStation State of Play event. Sony usually uses the State of Play to showcase upcoming PlayStation games. And some fans suspect that a new GTA game may be on the way. One theory picked up by Dexerto suggests that a GTA staff member may have posted a coded message to online forums. Fans who deciphered the message pointed to February 25 as the launch date in question. It's worth noting that even if Rockstar did announce a new game tonight, it could be months or even years before the game went on sale.

THOUSANDS of homes could be heated by waste from their local sewage works as part of England's first "poo power" scheme. Thames Water says its project has the potential to provide clean, green heating to more than 2,000 new homes within the Cambridge Road Estate in Kingston. It is expected to become a model for similar schemes elsewhere in the UK in a bid to reduce millions of tonnes of carbon emissions, the company says. The Government and Greater London Authority have funded feasibility studies and design work for the scheme over the past two years. An application has now been made to the Government for capital funding - with the result expected to be formally announced in March. Sarah Bentley, chief executive officer at Thames Water, said: "We're delighted to be working with Kingston Council, offering low carbon energy to a new housing development near to our works.
