Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has lamented the state of Transport for London’s (TfL) funding in a piece in the Financial Times, saying that proposed upgrades including Crossrail 2 and the Bakerloo Line extension are “completely out of reach”.
An Essex local authority has set out ambitious proposals for a raft of major infrastructure projects including an extension of the Central Line, extra rail tracks to Stansted Airport and connecting to Crossrail 2.
The importance of Crossrail 2 for the future of the rail network “cannot be overlooked”, according to Network Rail’s South West Main Line (SWML) Strategic Study.
Transport for London (TfL) may be forced to mothball a number of major capital projects for the foreseeable future following the Covid-19 funding crisis, documents released ahead of next week's board meeting indicate.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has thrown his support behind a number of mothballed and embattled rail schemes in his London Plan.
More than £115M had been spent on developing Crossrail 2 proposals during the last six years before the project was mothballed in November, NCE can reveal.
The chief executive of the Railway Industry Association (RIA) Darren Caplan has called for major schemes to be "sped up" such as HS2 Phase 2, the next phase of East West Rail and the proposed Crossrail 2 line in London.
Crossrail 2 is still a topic of regular discussion between the Department for Transport (DfT) and Transport for London (TfL) despite a recent TfL report conceding that the project will not be realistically affordable before 2030.
Transport for London (TfL) has set out a revised list of project priorities as long-term funding negotiations continue with government.
Six years of uncertainty over the safeguarding of the Crossrail 2 route below the British Library estate has been resolved with signing of a Development Agreement this month.
