Crossrail is a new 118km railway running through London and the surrounding areas, consisting of new tunnels, stations, and upgrades to existing infrastructure. It is Europe's largest infrastructure project, with a budget of £14.8 billion. When completed, it will carry over 200 million passenger journeys per year through central London at a frequency of 24 trains per hour. Crossrail is currently under construction and is set to open in late 2018, reducing travel times for many commutes and supporting hundreds of thousands of new homes and offices across London.
