Stations

A number of the stations on the Crossrail route have been designed to a high architectural specification. Examples of complex design features include the roof and ceiling of the ticket hall at Farringdon station and the extensive use of a large steel and glass canopy at Paddington station to bring in natural light.

Mark Wild, Crossrail Ltd Chief Executive, has stated that integrating the stations into the new railway and into the wider London underground and national rail network is a significant undertaking. There are around 60,000 different elements that must be integrated for the stations to operate effectively. TfL would usually undertake this activity once a year. Crossrail Ltd is developing its schedule and approach to do this for 10 stations in a compressed timeframe.
