Our Ref: FOI-0186-2425 Thank you for your request received on 18 April 2024 asking for information about Crossrail2 spend on office supplies and associated products. Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy.

Crossrail 2, whilst being a team within Transport for London (TfL), was not established as a separate Limited company.
The funding agreement with Government of 31 October 2020 includes a commitment in relation to Crossrail 2 that TfL “prioritises safeguarding activity and brings an orderly end to consultancy work as soon as possible. The Department for Transport (DfT) will support such safeguarding activity for this project as required”. Other than continuing to safeguard the scheme the Crossrail 2 Integrated Project Team has been disbanded and the safeguarding of the project is undertaken within the wider TfL Transport, Strategy, & Planning (TSP) remit. Crossrail2 is now part of the TSP team and has no physical assets of its own. As a result there are no office supplies or associated products that are specific to Crossrail 2.
