The Crossrail Context Report provides an overview of the Crossrail works that will take place within each local authority. Currently available are the reports for Tower Hamlets which can be down-loaded in three parts (right) and Westminster.
They present an explanation of that work, and a programme with respect to the making of requests for approval under Schedule 7 of the Crossrail Act, and a high level description of highways and traffic related work within the Local Authority.
The Context Reports are available at Crossrail’s Offices (Level 6, Portland House, Bressenden Place, London SW1H 5BE), or from the local authorities.
Crossrail will bring a number of major transport improvements to London. Many journey times will be considerably reduced through Crossrail, particularly where new direct links are provided. Existing journey times could be more than halved and Crossrail will enable quicker journeys to destinations such as the Isle of Dogs and Heathrow Airport. Crossrail’s high frequency and high capacity services will relieve congestion on many Tube and rail routes, improve access to jobs and generate investment in the area. Crossrail is the largest transport investment in London and the South East for 50 years.

London Underground context reports
The Crossrail Parliamentary Bill received Royal Assent on 22 July 2008, after completing all its parliamentary stages, becoming the Crossrail Act 2008. The Act gives permission for Crossrail to be built, operated and maintained. It also gives London Underground permission to rebuild the Tube station at Tottenham Court Road.
An outline of the works taking place within Camden and Westminster by London Underground as Nominated Undertaker is set out in the context reports below. These reports give a description of the works and set out a future programme for the requests for approval from Camden and Westminster Councils for the detailed planning required under the Crossrail Act.
