Counting down
The publication of a shortlist for bidders of Crossrail services is a great step forward for the project, and brings years of planning and designing into focus. Soon London will be benefitting from significantly expanded capacity across the city.
As work takes shape beneath the capital, changes above ground are also beginning to be seen, with the full impact of Crossrail becoming more evident by the day.
The project is almost at its peak employment, with thousands of rail staff delivering station works, tunnelling, as well as planning, retail development and environmental measures.
Naming bidders brings the reality of the£14.8bn new railway even closer.
