Dozens of shop owners in Soho, central London, must quit their
buildings by next week to make way for Crossrail.

The 84 landlords around Tottenham Court Road station must vacate their
premises by 18 November for the £16bn scheme.

The buildings in part of Oxford Street and Dean Street will be
demolished to enable the station to be extended.

Is this really for Crossrail, or does this relate to the expansion of
the existing Central Line station, which Crossrail will share? I
didn't think funds for "real" Crossrail work had been released yet?
