Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General
A memorandum on the Crossrail programme
HC 1924 Session 2017-2019
ISBN 9781786042439
Ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on 25 February 2019
CORRECTION
We propose changing the wording describing the role of the Joint Sponsor Board in the governance diagram on page 15 from:
Monthly forum sponsors to receive updates on, and challenge, programme progress
to:
Monthly forum for sponsors to receive updates on, and challenge the Crossrail Ltd executive on, programme progress
This then makes it clear that the Crossrail exec attends sponsor board and is challenged on progress. We also propose including a solid red arrow on the right hand side of the diagram from the box 'Crossrail Ltd' to the box 'Joint Sponsor Board'.
See the corrected Figure 8 overleaf.

We also propose changing the date when MTR Crossrail started running services on the eastern section of the line on page 21 from:
MTR Crossrail began running services on the eastern section of the railway in June 2017
to:
MTR Crossrail began running services on the eastern section of the railway in May 2015
The corrected paragrah should read
