Who exactly is to blame for the delay to Crossrail?
Who knew what, and when? Why has the delay only now been made public?
Is Autumn 2019 a realistic new launch date?
How much revenue will TfL lose and who will pay?
How will the delay affect other National Rail services and business along the route?
The London Assembly wants urgent answers to many important questions on the Crossrail delay. Tomorrow, the Mayor and representatives from Transport for London (TfL) and Crossrail will face Assembly Members during a special to address those issues.
From 10am to approximately 11am, the guests are:
- Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London

- Simon Wright, Chief Executive, Crossrail Ltd
The London Stadium is set to make a £20 million loss on day to day operations in 2018.
The Assembly will also hold a question and answer session with the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) tomorrow. Topics for discussion will include:
- Ensuring mistakes made with the stadium aren’t repeated on the East Bank project
- Improved transparency standards

- Meeting the higher annual housing targets in the new draft London Plan
From approximately 11am to 12pm, the guests are:
