You mean it will continue 'going ahead' surely? Crossrail has already

Only in terms of enabling works, service diversions, portals, and
modification of existing stations. All the "core" Crossrail work such
as tunnel and station construction has yet to start, and that involves
most of the money.

Yeah, the big dig is yet to come.


Positive news about Crossrail has been widely expected, and trailed by
various sources, not least by Boris, for the last few weeks...

Crossrail has never been in doubt, however it might have had its scope
reduced. It now looks like this won't happen.

Crossrail hasn't been in doubt recently, but it's not right to say it's
never been in doubt.
