Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the electrical explosion at Pudding Lane on (1) the completion date for the Elizabeth Line, and (2) the cost of that project.
The completion date for the Elizabeth line remains unchanged. The central section is scheduled to open in December 2018, with full Elizabeth line services commencing in December 2019. Further detail on the overall cost and schedule position will be provided in the next annual update to Parliament, in June 2018, if not before.
