    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Jennette Arnold (Chair): OK. We have four more speakers. I will take Assembly Member Copley. Tom Copley (AM): I wanted to ask you a few questions on Crossrail 2, which it is pleasing to note there is cross-party support for -- Jenny Jones (AM): No. Tom Copley (AM): -- or almost cross-party support for it. First of all, can you update us on discussions you have had with the Government since the election regarding Crossrail 2?

    OK. Good. What sort of engagement have you been having with broader London, other stakeholders like Network Rail and London businesses?

    When you are having your discussions with the Government, there are two options, really, that they have identified for Crossrail 2, one of which is a smaller scale metro option and the other is a more expensive regional option but with probably far more longer-term benefits. Are you pushing the Government for the more expensive version of this, which would deliver greater economic benefits in the long term to London?

    I am very supportive of your aspiration to take greater control of the Southeastern Overground rail network because quite obviously, just on the nearby quick trip to New Cross, you can see the massive improvement in services coming through that part of the London Overground line. Actually, one of the things that I am also very keen to explore is the opportunities for greater integration of different public transport modes in southeast London. At the moment, my constituents are disproportionately reliant on heavy rail and I would certainly be keen for you to explore greater integration with Docklands Light Railway...

    Of course. You have actually pre-empted a question I was going to ask about Euston's ability to cope without Crossrail 2 if HS2 does go ahead. Do you think it is the case, then, that HS2 cannot go ahead into Euston if we do not get Crossrail 2?
