3 Crossrail route High Capacity Metro Railway 14.8bn cost 42bn net benefit 118 km length 40 (10 new) stations 24 Trains/hour 200m journeys pa Page 3

4 Crossrail - connections Photo Improved access to London s 5 airports: Direct access to Heathrow Airport and London City Airport (via Custom House Indirect access via other trains to Luton, Gatwick and Stansted Airports Connects with Network Rail at 11 stations Connects with London Underground at all Central Section Stations Connects with Eurostar HSR and with the Docklands Light Railway Page 4

5 Crossrail connects centers of population and employment Up to 24 trains per hour in each direction providing the following service times: Heathrow to Paddington - 25 min Ealing to Isle of Dogs - 35 min Heathrow to West End - 30 min Custom House to West End - 15 min Canary Wharf to Liverpool St - 7 min Romford to West End - 33 min Woolwich to Liverpool St - 15 min Slough to Liverpool St - 39 min Page 5

6 Crossrail access to employment Additional 1.5 million people within 45 minutes commuting distance of London's key business districts One third of London s jobs are situated in just 2% of the city s area within the West End, the City of London and Canary Wharf Page 6

7 Crossrail economic benefits Economic benefits spread to all the London boroughs, as well as to UK plc. Employment for 14,000 during construction 66.2% of all UK national rail journeys start or end in London or the south east of England Business case shows economic benefit of 42bn to the UK s GDP over the 60 years from opening resulting in a 17bn tax boost Total Benefits to Boroughs ( m) Crossrail Route Page 7

8 History earlier schemes the Great Western Railway proposed an extension of its railway along a route much the same as the current scheme. (Crossrail held a centenary dinner in 2004!) 1946/48 - the post war London Rail Plan had six routes to help the reparation and regeneration of London of which a route similar to Crossrail was one report recommended, among other lines, a new deep-level railway line linking Paddington and Liverpool Street the Central London Rail Study proposed an East-West Crossrail (now 'Crossrail') as well as a South-West North-East route known as the Chelsea-Hackney route (now Crossrail 2 ). Crossrail 2 may become attractive with the development of the UK s High Speed Line 2 which will probably terminate at Euston Private Bill was submitted to Parliament for Crossrail by London Underground and British Rail and full detailed design prepared Bill rejected due to the recession at the time, but route between Paddington and Liverpool Street was safeguarded 1840s - Brunel planned a cross London railway Page 8

9 History current scheme Cross London Rail Links (now Crossrail Ltd, CRL), was formed to develop and promote the scheme (Crossrail Line 1) and also a Wimbledon-Hackney scheme (Crossrail Line 2). CRL was allocated a budget of 154m by central government to carry out feasibility work on both lines and secure the statutory approvals needed to build Line a Bill required to construct and operate the railway was laid before parliament the Bill received Royal Assent in July as the Crossrail Act and CRL appointed as lead Nominated Undertaker for the delivery of the railway. CRL then appointed Network Rail as their delivery partner for the surface routes Transport for London and the Department of Transport signed the Crossrail Sponsors' Agreement in December committing them to finance the project, alongside contributions from Network Rail, British Airports Authority and the City of London 2008/09 - design consultants appointed for detailed design construction officially starts at Canary Wharf Station project survives the government s September Comprehensive Spending Review 2010 to 2012 Crossrail awarded all tunneling and station contracts Page 9

12 Central Section Framework

13 Central Section Design Framework The Central Section Design Frameworks were tendered in 2008 to cover all aspects of the central section with the exception of Canary Wharf and Woolwich Stations. There were 7 categories: A. Tunnels & Shafts B. Stations C. Portals D. Rail Systems E. Communications & Control Systems F. Component Design G. M & W Specification 12 design companies were appointed to one or more of the Framework categories in February 2009, using the NEC 3 Contract form. Of these, 9 companies were successful in the mini competitions for design packages throughout CRL put significant emphasis on quality and people in the tenders. Page 13

14 Our Design Work Experience From 2001 Responsible for the developing concepts through to preliminary design to support the Hybrid Bill process for the complete underground route including seven underground signalling and other M&E Systems Appointed as multidisciplinary consultant for the central tunnels, three newstations, railway systems and rolling stock. We developed the RIBA C multidisciplinary design for Farringdon,Liverpool Street and Whitechapel Stations, Pudding Mill Lane Portal and the connecting tunnels/shafts.

42 Paddington Station design constraints Existing station serves the mainline railway, Heathrow Express and four London Underground Lines including the Metropolitan Line, which when opened in 1863 was the first underground railway in the world 25m deep excavation next to existing Grade 1 listed 19 th Century mainline station built by Brunel New station to be built under Eastbourne Terrace and Departures Road Original layout required the relocation of the underground Sub-station N, within the existing station, which provided power to the existing station and other railway assets Page 42

43 Paddington Station programme constraints Tight construction programme Paddington is near to the start of the tunnel drives from the west The tunnel drives had to pass through the station during construction of the diaphragm walls prior to excavation The tunnels had to be kept live to service the ongoing tunnel drives further to the east Page 43

44 Paddington Station Brunel s station opened in 1854 Page 44

45 Paddington Station publications Page 45

46 Paddington Station Optimisation original layout Entrance within mainline station requires relocation of substation Work within existing station disrupts station and shops Internal inclined struts make back of house space inefficient Page 46

47 Paddington Station Optimisation final layout Entrance relocated to ground level in Departures Road Central column line introduced Page 47

48 Paddington Station Optimisation summary of layout benefits Improved passenger experience and wayfinding Minimised passenger time below ground Public realm created below canopy Improved daylight within station Reduced depth to platforms More efficient back of house space Simplified construction Less disruption to the mainline station during construction Improved programme Substantial cost savings Page 48
