Plan for opening next stage of Crossrail expected in autumn

摘要

A timetable for having Crossrail trains run from Shenfield to Paddington is expected to be revealed this autumn. And minutes from Transport for London also reveal that £75m has been spent making Canary Wharf station safe with the work expected to swallow more cash and reach at least £80m. While Crossrail chief executive Mark Wild has promised that the central section of the railway will open by March 2021, there has been no announcement about when trains will run the full length of the line - from Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east to Reading and Heathrow airport in the west. Minutes from the most recent meeting of Transport for London's Programme and Investment Committee in May reveal the stages in which the line will see trains running on it.
