Crossrail: 'no short cuts'
Both Crossrail Ltd and Transport for London have responded to today's National Audit Office report, which says that 'although cost increases and schedule delays are in line with Crossrail Ltd's 2020 estimates, they exceed the available budget and there are still significant issues that could arise'. Transport commissioner Andy Byford said: 'It is right the Crossrail project continues to be scrutinised and we welcome the National Audit Officeâs report. Crossrail is a transformational project that will benefit London and beyond forever, and it is vitally important to get it over the line. As such, it continues to have my personal attention.'
