“We know we have much to do to win back the trust of Londoners, but all our focus is on ensuring we deliver a railway that is safe, reliable and exceptional.”
That was the message from Crossrail Chief Executive Mark Wild on December 17, in an update from Transport for London regarding the project.
The line should have opened fully throughout in December 2019. Wild added: “This railway is now firmly back on track and will open as soon as practically possible in 2021.”
Wild said of Crossrail in 2019: “The project has made significant progress during 2019 with many of the stations now nearing completion and fit-out of the tunnels almost complete.
“There are no short cuts to completing this railway. We must do a proper job and complete the Elizabeth Line to the highest standards of safety and reliability.”
