TPA proposes measures to save £11 billion on Crossrail 2

• Crossrail 2 is a £36 billion project to link south west and north east London rail services via new tunnels between Wimbledon and Dalston through central London.
• A new TPA report has found that £11 billion could be saved with cost reduction measures
• The report also suggests that there are separate, smaller projects which could deliver some of Crossrail 2's objectives at better value for money.

Today the TaxPayers' Alliance are publishing a new report on the cost of Crossrail 2, and how some key strategic improvements could provide better value for money for passengers and taxpayers. The expected cost for the project has increased from £5.3 billion (or £7.7 billion in 2019-20 prices) in 2000 to £32.6 billion (or £35.6 billion in 2019-20 prices) in 2016. The financial strength of the project's primary sponsor, Transport for London (TfL), has deteriorated due a fares freeze policy, the withdrawal of the grant from central government, weaker growth in passenger demand and the failure of Crossrail 1 to stay within budget and on time.

Reintroducing fares escalation could transfer 20 per cent of the capital costs from taxpayers to passengers, improving viability. Implementing a Crossrail 2 fares premium and an exemption from concessionary fares could transfer a similar share of funding to passengers. As things stand, taxpayers will finance the cost of the entire project, so the TPA's new report looks also into how this bill can be reduced.

This report has found that £11 billion could be saved with five cost reduction measures:

1. Cancelling the New Southgate spur could save £5.1 billion.
2. Rerouting the section between Dalston and Victoria via Clerkenwell instead of Euston St Pancras could save £1.4 billion. Alternatives via Farringdon or City Thameslink are also presented.
3. Removing the station at Chelsea and rerouting directly between Clapham Junction and Victoria could save £1 billion and offer improved transport benefits.
4. Rerouting the section between Wimbledon and Clapham Junction directly via Earlsfield instead of Balham could save £2.3 billion and improve journeys.
5. Building Wimbledon station above ground, reallocating existing platforms and tracks to Crossrail 2 (and tunnelling those instead) could save £1.3 billion.

The report also proposes several separate, smaller projects could deliver some of Crossrail 2's objectives at better value for money:

1. Extending the DLR from Bank to Euston via Holborn.
2. A new metro line from Fulham to Canary Wharf via Chelsea and Waterloo.
3. A new metro line extending national rail services into Fenchurch Street via Cannon Street and then existing railway infrastructure from Elephant & Castle to Herne Hill.
4. A Crossrail 2 spur from Angel Road to Gordon Hill via Edmonton Green and Enfield Town, largely using existing infrastructure.
5. A new express line between Kentish Town and Canary Wharf via Liverpool Street.
6. A short 'Crossrail 3' between Victoria and Euston via Tottenham Court Road.

Additional notes

LONDON

• Report calls for TfL to consider scrapping Crossrail 2's £5.1 billion New Southgate branch as part of a suggested £11 billion of savings and a package of fares reforms to improve viability for the project.

Bexley

• Report calls for TfL to consider a short 'Crossrail 3' between Victoria and Euston with a station at Tottenham Court Road.This would reduce interchange requirements at both Euston and Victoria by enabling passengers into those termini to continue their journeys while providing crowding relief to the Victoria line.

• Report calls for TfL to consider a short 'Crossrail 3' between Victoria and Euston with a station at Tottenham Court Road.This would reduce interchange requirements at both Euston and Victoria by enabling passengers into those termini to continue their journeys while providing crowding relief to the Victoria line.

Camden

• Report calls for TfL to consider £11 billion of savings on Crossrail 2 and a package of fares reforms to improve viability for the project, which has proposed stations at Euston St Pancras and Tottenham Court Road.
• One suggested option involves rerouting the central section between Dalston and Victoria via a new station at Clerkenwell instead of Euston St Pancras. Another option suggests Leicester Square, Farringdon and Old Street and a third suggests Leicester Square, City Thameslink and Liverpool Street, both instead of Tottenham Court Road, Euston and Angel.
• Report suggests extending the DLR from Bank though City Thameslink and Holborn to Euston, providing a direct link to Canary Wharf and beyond from Euston and Holborn.
• Report also suggests that TfL considers a new underground express service from Kentish Town to Canary Wharf via Caledonian Road, Highbury and Islington, Old Street, Liverpool Street and Mile End. This would provide residents in Kentish Town with a faster route to Old Street and a fast, direct service to Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf. It would also provide crowding relief to passengers using the Northern line Bank branch between Kentish Town and London Bridge.
• Also calls for TfL to consider a short 'Crossrail 3' between Victoria (or Waterloo) and Euston with a station at Tottenham Court Road (or Holborn). This would reduce interchange requirements at both Euston and Victoria (or Waterloo) by enabling passengers into those termini to continue their journeys while providing crowding relief to the Victoria (or Northern) line. 

City of London

• Report calls for TfL to consider £11 billion of savings on Crossrail 2 and a package of fares reforms to improve viability for the project.
• Includes calls for TfL to consider rerouting the central section between Dalston and Victoria. Of the three suggested options, one has a station on the border of the City at Farringdon while another option suggests Farringdon - St Paul's and Liverpool Street - Moorgate, substantially enhancing the City's connectivity with south west London, Surrey, north east London and Hertfordshire, as well as Victoria and the West End.
• Report suggests extending the DLR from Bank though City Thameslink and Holborn to Euston.
• Report also suggests an extension of National Rail services into Fenchurch Street to be extended to Herne Hill via a new tunnel through Cannon Street and under the Thames and then taking over existing overground railway lines through Elephant and Castle and Loughborough Junction with new stations at Burgess Park and Camberwell. The National Rail services currently using these tracks would instead be diverted to new tunnels between Herne Hill and Blackfriars. As well as improving connectivity to the City and access to public transport for Burgess Park, Camberwell, Loughborough Junction and Herne Hill, it would also provide crowding relief to national rail and Northern line services, deepening labour markets for employers in the City.

Croydon

• Report calls for TfL to consider £11 billion of savings on Crossrail 2 and a package of fares reforms to improve viability for the project, which has proposed stations at Angel Road, Ponders End, Brimsdown and Enfield Lock.
• Suggests instead an extension from Broxbourne to Harlow.
• Proposes an alternative Crossrail 2 branch from Angel Road to Gordon Hill via Edmonton Green, Bush Hill Park and Enfield Town with a short tunnel from Enfield Town to Gordon Hill. This would take over the Bush Hill Park and Enfield Town Overground spur, use former Edmonton branch railway land between Edmonton Green and Angel Road (currently partly disused and partly a cycle and footway). The buildings currently occupied by Argos and ASDA, together with some residential properties on Fraser Road, would probably be required to be redeveloped as part of the station at Edmonton Green.
• Proposals would improve journey times for most commuters from Angel Road, Ponders End, Brimsdown and Enfield Lock by rerouting from Euston to nearby most commuters' actual final destinations in the highest employment density areas in and around the City of London.
• Report also suggests that TfL considers a new underground express service from Kentish Town to Canary Wharf via Caledonian Road, Highbury and Islington, Old Street, Liverpool Street and Mile End. This would provide residents near Piccadilly and Great Northern line stations with better connections to the City and Canary Wharf. Crowding relief to passengers using those lines past Caledonian Road and Highbury and Islington.
