Crossrail | Urgency to start trial running could cause delays later down the line
Crossrail’s schedule is at risk of slipping further due to project bosses desire to get to trial running as soon as possible, according to reports released ahead of next week’s Transport for London (TfL) Elizabeth line committee meeting.
A Crossrail Programme Assurance Update states that the “programme is on track” to enter trial running this Spring.
However, it warns that “an unintended consequence of the prioritisation of trial running is the deferral of lower priority activity which, in turn, has the potential to cause consequential delay to later target milestones such Trial Operations and Revenue Service.”
