2. Crossrail – enabling London to grow
High Capacity Metro Railway
Crossrail is the largest infrastructure project in Europe
Costing £14.8bn connecting 40 stations running from Reading in the west, to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east through 42kms of newly construction tunnels underneath central and south east London.
The new line will, for the first time, connect Europe’s busiest airport, Heathrow, with the key employment hubs – the West End, the City of London and Canary Wharf on one rail line.
Within the central section 24 trains per hour will operate in both directions enabling 200m journeys per year or a 10% increase in London’s rail capacity (the largest increase since World War II).

9. Crossrail Learning Legacy
Content comes from several sources:
Existing content
The existing body of knowledge collated through the Technical Paper competition run by the Engineering team and published by the Institution of Civil Engineers
In due course we intend to include the archived innovations from our Innovate18 programme
Academic research
New content
Crossrail teams and our supply chain delivering the job
Academic work, commissioned by us or by others
This content, consisting of insight, good practice documents and data is then published on the Learning Legacy website
But more important, as Andrew has said, is the network of experts represented by our Learning Legacy Ambassadors. Our ambassador programme provides structure and support to enable these experts to be part of the dissemination and promote themselves and their organisations as well as the content. Most can be contacted through their LinkedIn profiles which are linked from their author credits
Our partner organisations, particularly the membership bodies, disseminate the content to their members and more widely. This includes arranging events and webinars for the ambassadors to share their learnings and our taking part in partners’ existing events such as annual conferences. As more content is added the number and scope of events will increase.
We continue to provide project specific knowledge to the successor major projects – the aim is that eventually they can go straight to the site!
