Public consultation has been launched on more detailed plans for the Crossrail 2 project. The consultation seeks views on proposed station locations, entrances and exits for the tunnelled section of the route; proposed locations of ventilation shafts for the tunnelled section; proposed construction sites required to build and operate the tunnelled section of the scheme; proposed service patterns and changes to existing National Rail services.
Crossrail 2 would serve central London through an underground tunnelled section between Wimbledon and Tottenham Hale and New Southgate, connecting with existing National Rail networks in Surrey and Hertfordshire, and helping relieve increasing pressure on London’s transport network.
Current proposals would see Crossrail 2 services become operational in 2030. The new railway would provide capacity for 270,000 more people to access central London during the morning peak. Crossrail 2 would also free up space on some of the most congested lines on the National Rail network.
Beyond the South East, Crossrail 2 will bring more than 800 destinations around the country within one interchange of a Crossrail 2 station, including towns in the Midlands and the North such as Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.
