The Government is considering the Crossrail 2 Strategic Outline Business Case, submitted by Transport for London, to determine whether the proposed scheme delivers value for money to the UK taxpayer.

The approach is consistent with the HM Treasury Green Book guidance and focusses on the use of cost benefit (welfare) analysis to determine value for money. This captures the expected economic, environmental and social impacts of the scheme on the UK.
