Crossrail is a project to create a new east-west railway system across London, connecting directly with existing surface rail routes to Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west and to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. By connecting the major London terminals of Paddington and Liverpool Street, the project seeks to enable interconnecting mainline train services to cross the centre of London via a number of new purpose-built stations. The Bill contains 59 clauses and 14 schedules, and its main purpose is to secure the powers necessary to build Crossrail and associated works, including the authorisation of works, the acquisition of land, the establishment of a planning and heritage regime, the application of existing railway and other miscellaneous legislation, the transfer scheme of property, rights and liabilities, and the devolution of control of the Crossrail project. This is a Hybrid Bill (a Public Bill promoted by the Government which is treated like a Private Bill for part of its passage through Parliament) which aims to give individuals and bodies an opportunity to oppose the bill or to seek its amendment before a Select Committee in either or in both Houses of Parliament.
