Crossrail Update
Blurred picture: staf work on the escalator at the Dean Street entrance to Tottenham Court Road station in July last year.
The Elizabeth Line was due to open with much fanfare this month. That, as we now know, is not to be; the signs are the line remains a long way from completion. So, how to get the programme back on track? Answer: bring in an experienced and trusted hand to navigate the challenging inal strait.
