Final contract

摘要

The final contract for the UK's UK£ 15 billion (US$ 25 billion) Crossrail project has been granted to Balfour Beatty for the UK£ 70 million (US$ 115 million) fit-out Woolwich railway station. The east-west Crossrail scheme is designed to improve London journey times across the city and is set to be completed by 2018. The full Crossrail service will begin operating from 2019, allowing passengers to travel from Heathrow Airport through to the city of London without changing trains. It will boost London's rail capacity by 10% and provide up to 24 rail services an hour between Paddington in West London through Whitchapel in East London.
