Crossrail has become a saga - one that fascinates and appals us in equal measure. Last week's National Audit Office report laid out all the failures - and there are a lot - in black and white, and the costs of these failures are eye-watering: £2.Sbn was heaped on to contracts between 2013 and 2018 because of design and contract changes. A transport service - running over two years' late - that originally had a price tag of £14.8bn is now clocking in at £17.6bn.
