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 City Planning remit.
We publish some information that may be of interest regarding diversion and inclusion on our website:
