Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress has been made on confirming the final proposed route for Crossrail 2.

The Crossrail 2 Independent Affordability Review, chaired by Mike Gerrard, has provided interim recommendations to the Secretary of State for Transport and Mayor of London this summer, including recommendations for further work to ensure the scheme taken forward is affordable. This further work is now being taken forward to inform the next steps for the project, including looking at route options, and to subsequently complete and finalise the Review.

Following the additional work, we expect to publish the findings of the Gerrard Review in due course.
