Transport for London will be hosting an Industry Event to raise the market's awareness of the Crossrail 2 project. Crossrail 2 is a proposed new railway planned to connect the National Rail networks in Surrey and Hertfordshire via new tunnels and stations between Wimbledon, Tottenham Hale and New Southgate, linking in with London Underground, London Overground, Crossrail 1, national and international rail services.

It would add capacity to the regional rail network, cutting journey times across the South East. It would also support economic regeneration by providing the infrastructure needed to support 200 000 new homes and 200 000 new jobs.

The Industry Event will provide an insight into the long and short term plans for the project, to enable consultants, construction companies and other suppliers to consider how they might participate. 

The Industry Event will include an overview of Crossrail 2's objectives, challenges and current priorities.

The project team will highlight the procurement activity planned to enable the preparation of an Hybrid Bill for 2019, and its thinking with regard to engaging the supply chain in the development of the Delivery Strategy for this c. £30,000,000,000 project.

The award of new contracts for the next stage of design development is subject to approval of the strategic outline business case in early 2017.
