Crossrail CEO Mark Wild welcomes the arrival of the Elizabeth line

Over two decades, we’ve supported Crossrail to deliver the Elizabeth line, a complex and significant transport solution in London, U.K., that paves the way for social, environmental and economic opportunities of national significance that will last generations. 该项目还创造了巨大的学习遗产,将有利于未来的主要首页发展及其全球社区.

Delivered by Crossrail Ltd, 伊丽莎白线是一代人以来对伦敦交通网最重要的补充. It's crucial to a low-carbon transport future, providing greater connectivity and supporting regeneration across the U.K.’s capital city.

One of the biggest railway infrastructure projects in Europe, this fully digitalized, 72-mile (118km) railway line will transform travel both east-west through London, interconnecting with the wider U.K.

Part of the Transport for London network, 伊丽莎白线将增加数百万人的连通性,并通过增加就业和教育机会实现包容性社会. New, fully accessible stations transform the public realm, unlocking new development and housing opportunities.

We worked as a strategic partner, in an integrated team with our client Crossrail, overseeing several key contributions on this iconic mega project. Our people have provided over two decades of agile support, from our strategic consultants and economists in the conceptualization stage, to our project teams on the mobilization and delivery phases.

“当你意识到为数百万人带来的社会和经济效益时,支持Crossrail交付伊丽莎白线会让你感到自豪, creating an inclusive society and increasing jobs, education, and housing. I look forward to sharing further lessons and solutions from the U.K.’s first fully digitalized railway.”
