§ Chris GraylingTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions for what reason Crossrail was(a) included in the 10-year plan and (b) excluded from the SRA Strategic Plan. [41761]
§ Mr. JamiesonA Crossrail link was included in the Government's 10-year plan given its potential for delivering increased peak capacity into London.
Crossrail is also identified in the SRA's Strategic Plan as one of the major rail projects which are currently under development. Options for taking Crossrail forward are being developed by the SRA/Transport for London joint venture Cross London Rail Links Ltd.
