Crossrail
Crossrail is a new railway proposal for London and the South East. It will deliver a world class, affordable railway, with a frequent and reliable train service across the capital by 2015.
The route goes from maidenhead and Heathrow in the west right across the capital into Essex and Kent in the east. It travels underground through the city centre between Paddington and East London.
Crossrail will make travelling in the area easier and quicker and reduce crowding on London’s transport network. It will operate with main line size trains, carrying more than 1500 passengers in each train.
With the crossrail proposals the service will provide 24 trains per hour running through central London during peack times and 12 trains in off peak times.
Ilford is included in the proposals, with discussions that there will be a new station built in the town centre – all to still be confirmed at this stage.
