John RobinsonGUEST
Yeah, so I guess with all our organisations, you know, I think en masse we employ nearly over 100,000 technical resources on a global stage.
John RobinsonGUEST
But in terms of projects where we've all worked together, a couple of the recent examples would include Crossrail or the Elizabeth Line within London.
John RobinsonGUEST
but also further afield with Sydney Metro and its various different branches and lines, also HS2.
John RobinsonGUEST
So all of our respective organisations would have a good experience in that space, but equally in our schemes like Metrolinx, which actually has a procurement strategy very similar to what we've adopted here on the Metrolinx programme.
Eoin MurphyHOST
They won't be going opposed to any traffic.
Eoin MurphyHOST
It is something we've never seen before, but something which is very common elsewhere.
Eoin MurphyHOST
And I was taken by your reference to the Elizabeth Line as well.
Eoin MurphyHOST
The Crossrail example.
Kara OwenGUEST
in the UK in engineering capability.
Kara OwenGUEST
We've done some of the most complex engineering projects in the world, something like the Elizabeth Line that has transformed what it's like living in London, for example.
Kara OwenGUEST
So, our companies are really interested in that.
Kara OwenGUEST
We have got phenomenal capability in offshore wind.
Christian WolmarHOST
So,
Mark WalkerHOST
there was also a pledge to enable the Mayor of London to establish a successor to the Elizabeth Line business rates supplement, which is due to end by 2041.
Mark WalkerHOST
And this would enable funds to be raised to help build the West London Orbital Railway and the Bakerloo Line extension.
Mark WalkerHOST
So a number of London features there.

Steve CostelloGUEST
But those trains will also be very attractive to non-airport passengers.
Steve CostelloGUEST
If you live on the southwest main line, it's slightly slower through to Paddington compared to Waterloo.
Steve CostelloGUEST
But it gets you to Heathrow, obviously, but also Old Oak Common for HS2, but critically to the Elizabeth Line interchange.
Steve CostelloGUEST
And for most passengers, our modelling shows that end-to-end journey times would be quicker.
James HolmearGUEST
I think it's a really significant announcement, particularly around the ability for London to fund some of the infrastructure projects.
James HolmearGUEST
You look at what a great success Elizabeth Line has been.
James HolmearGUEST
And so if that can be rolled onto future large infrastructure projects, such as, say, the Bakerloo Line extension or the West London Orbital, again, just anything that's going to bring greater investment into London is going to be a positive thing.
James HolmearGUEST
And because of the sums involved within London, I think it's a really good sign for London as a city.
Rachel ColganHOST
Yeah,
Rachel HunnisettGUEST
definitely.
Rachel HunnisettGUEST
Rachel, anything to add? Only as a frequent user of the Tube and the Elizabeth line, I think anything that puts further investment in is fantastic.
Rachel HunnisettGUEST
I think almost post-COVID, London's had an interesting market, right? And there was lots of speculation about what way the London market will go.
Kara OwenGUEST

Andy KaufmanHOST
He's also the co-founder of Foresight, which uses data and AI to help leaders better understand whether project schedules actually plausible.
Andy KaufmanHOST
Atif and his team were involved with Crossrail, the massive rail project that eventually became London's Elizabeth Line.
Andy KaufmanHOST
At one point, much of the project looked pretty much finished.
Andy KaufmanHOST
I mean, trains could move, tunnels and stations were there, and yet the railway was nowhere near as ready as it appeared.
Expat AndyHOST
whether it crosses a large road, a park, a railway, or a river, whether the attraction has more than one entrance, whether you're arriving in daylight, and whether your return station is different from the one you use to arrive.
Expat AndyHOST
TFL's Journey Planner lets you plan across the tube, London Overground, Elizabeth Line, buses, National Rail, walk-in and other transport modes, and it allows you to set a preferred maximum walk-in time.
Expat AndyHOST
That makes it more useful than simply staring at a tube diagram and counting line changes.
Expat AndyHOST
Rule 3.
Expat AndyHOST
Visitors often think in terms of the tube because it's iconic, color-coded, and easy to understand at first glance.
Expat AndyHOST
But the tube is only one part of an excellent transport network across London.
Expat AndyHOST
London also has the London Overground, the Elizabeth Line, Thameslink, National Rail Services, buses, Docklands Light Railway, river services, trams, a cable car, walk-in routes, bicycles, and taxis and private hire vehicles.
Expat AndyHOST
You don't need to become an expert in all of them.
Saqib ButtHOST
But...
Saqib ButtHOST
The Elizabeth Line.
Saqib ButtHOST
Elizabeth Line is pretty good, actually.
Saqib ButtHOST
Yeah.
Saqib ButtHOST
Pretty good.
CrisHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
CrisHOST
And then you just get Elizabeth Line straight into central London.
CrisHOST
Strong
DanHOST
recommend.
speaker_5HOST
Yet the issue that remains is the quality of service.
speaker_5HOST
Reliability and on-time performance on the Underground, Overground, and Elizabeth Line have all declined to levels worse than before COVID and before these cost-cutting measures were put in place.
speaker_5HOST
The buses have been bearing the brunt of it.
speaker_5HOST
Much of this has to do with the staffing structure.
