Crossrail 2: Context - why is TfL reviewing Crossrail 2?
•
Following a request from the Secretary of State to the Mayor of
London in 2009, TfL is undertaking a review of the
safeguarded alignment to identify where possible changes
should be made
•
London is growing rapidly, 1.3m more people and 0.75m more
jobs by 2031
•
Even with currently committed investment, this growth would
lead to serious increases in crowding on rail and underground
•
Given the opportunity to review Crossrail 2, it makes sense to
consider the safeguarded alignment afresh and decide if it
should be changed to reflect new thinking and new
development
•
TfL starting position – is a new line actually necessary?
•
Conclusion – definitely

Crossrail 2: Wide-ranging support

London First published its final report into Crossrail 2 on 5th
February
Lord Adonis said, “Today's report sets out a compelling plan with
strong business support. Crossrail 2 is an integrated tube and rail
service connecting south-west, central, and north-east London,
benefiting
of case
passengers
• The
Mayor millions
said, “The
for the and jobs.”
construction of Crossrail 2 is
incontestable and is made forcibly in
this report. Over the next 20 years
London’s population is forecast to
expand to levels that will clog the Tube
and rail arteries of our great city if we
do not provide more capacity. There is
no time to lose and my team will work
closely with London First and others
on developing plans for this vital
railway.”
• Network Rail also strongly supports
Crossrail 2.
