A “forensic focus” is required to complete Crossrail within its revised budget and timescale, an inquiry has found.
In a report seen by the PA news agency, the cross-party London Assembly Transport Committee urges Transport for London (TfL) and mayor Sadiq Khan to ensure “past mistakes are not repeated”.
It recommends they keep a “tight grasp” on the project’s leadership structures and financial stability.
Management and governance of the scheme was transferred from Crossrail Ltd to TfL – which is chaired by Mr Khan – on October 1 last year.
The Transport Committee expressed concern that there may not be “enough resources or the right level of expertise” to successfully complete its final phases, such as safety assurance activities and technical processes.
