Crossrail 2 was given the go-ahead by an independent body today, paving the way for construction of the vital north-south railway across London. Ministers were urged to press ahead with the £27 billion link as a priority by the national infrastructure commission, set up by Chancellor George Osborne last year. The commissions chairman Lord Adonis warned that the capital would grind to a halt unless major improvements were made to the transport network. Crossrail 2 would link the suburban railway network from Wimbledon to Tottenham Hale via a new tunnel under the citys centre.
