Default Crossrail - is it certain now?

Given that the Astoria is going to be demolished to make way for the
new TCR station, is Crossrail 100% certain now or are there still
funding queries? Also something I've been wondering is where will
they find the space at Farringdon for the major interchange that
will be needed , theres hardly anywhere for the station to expand in
to?

The Crossrail station will be on the south side of the road. There
will be an underground passage to the existing station behind the
barriers.

Let's try again.

Thameslink 2000 involves building a station entrance on the south side of
the road. There will be an underground passage to the existing station
behind the barriers.

IIRC Crossrail will involve doubling the size of the station on the south
side of the road, including doubling the frontage on the south side of
Cowcross Street.
