Crossrail: Opening a new railway - a 21st century Historic/Heritage

crossrail_opening_a_new_railway__a_21st_century


The extension of Crossrail to the Thames Valley will be a major boost for both commuters and the UK economy when it begins operation in 2019

Providing an insight into how a huge engineering project such as Crossrail is developed and managed is the theme of the Bracknell Lecture.

Our speaker, Charles Devereaux, a former head of rail operations at Crossrail, will provide a summary of the project and provide an update of its progress and delivery to the network.

He will go on to describe the challenges of opening and integrating a modern railway system and the conflicting expectations of operators, contractors, safety authorities and politicians.

Charles will conclude by highlighting the lessons to be drawn for building a new railway in the twenty-first century.
