Crossrail shuns design review for 27 surface stations

摘要

The design of 27 surface stations on the £15bn Crossrail project is not being reviewed by independent experts, sparking warnings from leading architects and local authorities that rail bosses are missing a once-in-a-century chance to produce well-designed stations that will stand the test of time. Since 2009, a dedicated Crossrail design review panel, set up by Design Council Cabe, has provided independent oversight on the eight new-build central London Crossrail stations, plus new stations at Abbey Wood and Woolwich.
