Crossrail 2 may ask nearby home owners to stump up millions for project

Home owners living within a certain radius of Crossrail 2 stations
could be
forced to stump up millions to pay for the project.

I bet when they say homeowners, they mean residents


The report includes "The money would be collected over ten years as part
of council taxes." There's no other practicable option. But given the
number of rented properties around Dalston they might do well to pick
another station when running the argument that it's only fair given the
increase in value of the properties. The more so when landlords will
tend to put up rents in order to maintain their rate of return on
capital, and to reflect the market rates withy better communication. In
short, a double whammy for occupiers.

but it not though

tenants don't benefit from the increase in value of the property

No, but they presumably benefit from better access to transport.

probably not from any stations south of Wimbledon

aren't they just going to keep the service frequency that they have now

It's not clear from the report whether this funding charge would extend to
distant stations whose existing services would simply be diverted through
the tunnel. Arguably, they would still get some benefit, but much less
than people who get a new station with a new high frequency service.

Also, it would be possible to increase services on the peripheral branches,
should there be the demand, as more services could pass through the tunnel
than can terminate and reverse at Waterloo. For example, Crossrail will be
providing 6 tph to Heathrow compared to the 2 tph HCon service it replaces.
