Crossrail is Europe’s biggest engineering project – but is it also fast becoming a national laughing stock? Named in honour of the Queen, the Elizabeth line was promised to carry 200 million passengers a year and see the biggest increase to rail travel since World War Two. But it’s years behind schedule, billions over budget and dogged by all kinds of problems. So how was it all gone wrong?
This documentary tracks the troubled project from the very beginning and reveals exactly why it went off the rails with interviews from former works, politicians, transport experts and the people who were promised Crossrail would bring huge benefits… only to find themselves waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
