Crossrail Project 2019 to 2023: Completing the Elizabeth LineºìÌÒÊÓÆµ (ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ) has published a journal of lessons learned from the Crossrail project to benefit future projects and raise the bar in industry.

The new journal, Crossrail Project 2019-2023: Completing the Elizabeth Line, has been published in partnership with Crossrail, for whom ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ is an official learning legacy partner. It contains a series of papers detailing lessons by senior stakeholder representatives from Crossrail, Transport for London (TfL) and the Department for Transport.

Among the themes explored in the journal are:

  • Leadership
  • Programme recovery
  • Cost and commercial management
  • Digital integration
  • Governance arrangements
  • Operational approach

Each section shares lessons learned, which are applicable not only to future rail and transport infrastructure projects in the UK, but large and complex projects in all industries, around the world.

A launch event for Crossrail Project 2019-2023: Completing the Elizabeth Line took place at the Institute of Engineering and Technology in London. ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ President, Sue Kershaw (pictured), joined TfL Commissioner, Andy Lord and Permanent Secretary at the Department for Transport, Dame Bernadette Kelly, as one of the event’s opening speakers.ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ President Sue Kershaw speaking at the Crossrail Learning Legacy event

Sue said: “At a time of such profound challenges – the climate crisis, economic uncertainty and the march towards digitalisation, to name just three – major programmes in all sectors are becoming increasingly complex. As their success is key to the UK’s growth and prosperity, it’s vital to share knowledge and good practice to raise standards across the board.â€
