Crossrail – Transport Infrastructure Consultancy

How Advance TRS Management Consultancy delivered expert transport infrastructure consultancy for Crossrail and the Elizabeth Line project.

Advance TRS Management Consultancy provided essential transport infrastructure consultancy to support the successful delivery of the Crossrail West Stations programme, part of Europe’s largest infrastructure project—Crossrail, now known as the Elizabeth Line. The £22 billion mega-project introduced a new high-capacity rail service connecting Reading and Heathrow in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east.

Spanning 73 miles (118 km) with 41 stations, including 10 new builds and 26 miles (42 km) of tunnels, the Elizabeth Line expanded London’s rail capacity by 10%, significantly improving regional connectivity, accessibility, and environmental performance. Now fully integrated into Transport for London’s (TfL) network, it stands as a landmark in the evolution of urban rail infrastructure.
