Crossrail passenger estimate 'under by 65 million' at three stations [BBC News]
Date: 21/01/2014
An extra 65 million people could use three London Crossrail stations annually by 2026, revised figures show. The company Arup looked at Tottenham Court Road, Bond Street and Farringdon stations and found population growth outstripped the original estimates. In 2004 it was estimated 185 million people would use the stations, but that estimate has now increased to 250 million a year. It includes people using London Underground at the stations. To accommodate the increase, the New West End Company said it would "consider all the ideas on the table".[From Richard Buckby]
