Local politicians have urged the government to commit to an eastern phase for Crossrail 2 that would serve East London and South Essex.

High Speed 3 has suddenly become chancellor George Osborne’s darling. But why?

Devolution of power to London will be crucial for the delivery of major infrastructure projects like Crossrail 2, according to London Chamber of Commerce chief executive Colin Stanbridge.

Crossrail 2, High Speed 3 (HS3) and a trans-Pennine road tunnel are among long term infrastructure projects set to be given a £300M boost by chancellor George Osborne. 

Accelerated funding for High Speed 3, Manchester Piccadilly station development and improvements to trans-Pennine road links will ensure connectivity between northern cities, according to the National Infrastructure Commission.

Delivery of Crossrail 2 must be a priority and taken forward without delay, according to a new report from the National Infrastructure Commission.

Government is being urged to work with local councils to ensure that work on Crossrail 2 can start by 2020.

A Conservative Party spokesman has written to London transport chief Michele Dix urging her to reconsider scrapped plans for a Crossrail 2 station at Tooting Broadway.

Transport bosses in London have revealed plans to set up a new company called Crossrail 2 Ltd to deliver the first stages of the scheme.
