Crossrail Stakeholder Consultation Document – May 2002
Summary
This document was produced to inform stakeholders and seek views on the shortlisted route options for Crossrail during the Stakeholder Consultation from May to July 2002. The results of that consultation fed into the development of the preferred route for the scheme and the first business case produced by Cross London Rail Links Limited. It will be of use to major project promoters who are seeking views on a set of options for a scheme.
