Recommendation 19

The Department and Crossrail Ltd told us about the benefits Crossrail has achieved during construction.
Conclusion
The Department and Crossrail Ltd told us about the benefits Crossrail has achieved during construction. Crossrail Ltd told us that Crossrail had “overreached” on its apprenticeship targets, achieving 1,000 apprenticeships. Many of the 1,000 were in civil engineering in the Tier 1 contractors, and Crossrail Ltd does not know where they work now. There are a further 100 to 200 apprenticeships on the Elizabeth line at the moment. The tunnelling academy is now a training centre for TfL.54
