CROSSRAIL CHAOS
• £1.4bn bailout required
• Autumn opening in doubt
• Chairman resigns
THE PLANNED opening for the Crossrail line under Central London is likely to slip into 2020.
This follows news there is still considerable work to be completed, linked to a shortfall in funding of about £1.4billion – a figure which could rise to £2bn.
That’s not the only problem facing the complex project, with chairman Sir Terry Morgan resigning following leaked press reports he was to be sacked.
