Crossrail 1 (East-West)

Crossrail reported to the Government in spring 2003 on the feasibility, costs and financing of options for the routes of line 1. The Crossrail Business Case received the support of the Secretary of State for Transport on 14 July 2003. He confirmed the Government will be willing in principle to support the scheme by way of a Hybrid Bill, following a successful outcome from an independent review of the case for the scheme led for the Department for Transport, and agreement on funding. The Crossrail hybrid bill was submitted on 22 February 2005. A second reading is expected mid March. The Secretary of State for Transport also confirmed the Crossrail Company should work towards safeguarding the preferred route and carrying out consultation. Public consultation along the benchmark route is ongoing.
