Governance of the Crossrail programme transfers to TfL

Delivery of the Elizabeth line is now in its complex final stages with a comprehensive plan to complete the railway focused on the remaining construction and systems integration, followed by intensive operational testing.

To align with this next phase of the programme the responsibility for the governance of the Crossrail programme has now moved to sit directly with TfL as operator and maintainer of the railway. TfL and the Department for Transport (DfT), joint sponsors of Crossrail, have worked closely with Crossrail Ltd (CRL) to agree the transition plan to move the project to TfL. This ensures that decision making between CRL and TfL is seamless and fully aligned during the critical final phases of the programme as the operational testing is undertaken and the remaining parts of the railway are completed and transferred to TfL.

The transition of governance will simplify responsibilities. High-level oversight will be provided by a Special Purpose Committee of the TfL Board, to be known as the Elizabeth Line Committee. This Committee will include members of the TfL Board and a special representative from the DfT as joint sponsor of the project. An Elizabeth Line Delivery Group comprised of senior members of TfL, London Underground and CRL, under the Chairmanship of Transport Commissioner Andy Byford will oversee the delivery of the project.

TfL also remains in constructive discussions with DfT about the funding of the additional costs to complete the railway.
