Inquiry scope
This inquiry will review five major rail projects sponsored by the Department for Transport since 1998 (HS1, HS2, West Coast Mainline Modernisation, Thameslink and Crossrail). The Committee will look at the many challenges the Department has encountered in these projects which are large in scale and complex, with construction either expected to or having taken 9 to 10 years, at a cost of up to £21.4 billion. While the Department has made progress in its management of rail infrastructure programmes and responded well on programmes such as Thameslink and Crossrail to manage risks and control costs, there are key lessons, examples of good practice and common risk areas that the Department should be aware of and can act on when designing and implementing future rail projects.
