Crossrail to miss its 2020 opening; needs extra £400m

摘要

Crossrail will not open in 2020 and its cost will rise further, the project's head has confirmed. Chief executive Mark Wild claimed in a progress update last week that the line would open "as soon as practically possible" in 2021. "Our latest assessment is that the opening of the central section will not occur in 2020, which was the first part of our previously declared opening window," he said.
