Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his policy is on the Crossrail 2 project; and what the status of that project is.
The Government recognises that Crossrail 2 could provide a crucial solution to address capacity issues on London’s rail and tube networks, while also improving connectivity across London and the South East.
I am keen to see a realistic and achievable 50% funding proposal from London regarding Crossrail 2. Officials continue to work with TfL on this funding proposal and the next steps for the project.
