		Overall, Crossrail is vital to the UK and to London, and to the communities of east London.
		Crossrail is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make a difference to transport in the south-east, which could also benefit long-distance travellers, including those from my constituency, but if the country is to spend the kind of money envisaged by the Bill, we need to provide more than the Crossrail project offers.

	Crossrail line 1: Stakeholder Consultation
		However, the Association stresses that Crossrail should be seen as a truly regional metro serving the whole of the UK’s metropolitan region: while the objectives for London itself are critically important, it should also be of benefit to those wider parts of the London region which are important to its overall growth and regeneration.
