New CrossRail station - work set to start soon...

04 January 2009

WORK on the new Isle of Dogs Crossrail station at Canary Wharf is soon set to begin.

The announcement follows agreement between the Canary Wharf Group plc (CWG), the government and Transport for London over funding of the £500m project.

CWG will contribute £150 to the station which has been redesigned, resulting in significant savings.

First trains on the £16b Crossrail service - Heathrow and Maidenhead in the West to Canary Wharf and Stratford in the East, via a seven mile tunnel under central London - are due to run in 2017.

Planning approval has been received for approximately 100,000 square feet of retail space and a rooftop park above the station.

Transport Minister Andrew Adonis described Crossrail as crucial in keeping London and the rest of the country globally competitive.

It could boost the UK's economy by £20b, as well as creating around 30,000 new jobs.

CWG chief executive George Iacobescu said: "Canary Wharf Group has supported Crossrail for many years. It is vitally important for transport infrastructure to improve to help London keep pace with rapidly developing cities in other parts of the world which are competing for London's role as one of the main global financial centres.
