Crossrail extension proposed

THE £14.8 billion cross-London Crossrail scheme could be extended to Hertfordshire, Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin announced yesterday.

If the plan goes ahead, there will be Crossrail links, providing faster commuter services, to the Hertfordshire stations of Tring, Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamstead and Watford Junction as well as to Harrow & Wealdstone in north-west London.

The existing Crossrail, due to be fully operational by 2019, will see fast trains running from as far west as Reading in Berkshire through central London to as far east as Shenfield in Essex.

Mr McLoughlin made his extension announcement as he addressed Crossrail workers at Farringdon station in London.

He said the link could potentially reduce journey times to central London by up to 15 minutes, adding that any changes would not affect the timetable or planned service pattern for the existing Crossrail scheme.
