  2. Assess the outcomes of Crossrail’s governance changes, including the financial implications for Transport for London (TfL) and understanding the role of Network Rail in the remaining aspects of the delivery of Crossrail
  3. Understand lessons learned from the Crossrail delivery programme

The guests are:

  • Heidi Alexander, Deputy Mayor, Transport and Deputy Chair, Transport for London
  • Andy Byford, Commissioner, Transport for London
