Commenting on the opening to passengers of the new high speed rail link between London and the Channel Tunnel, the Thames Gateway London Partnership said:

”In 2009 with domestic services stopping at Stratford , CTRL will prove to be an enormous boost to the economic regeneration of the East End . The six-mile tunnel from Stratford to St Pancras will further integrate Stratford into the rest of London .

”We remain concerned about the lack of commitment to international stopping services at Stratford . It is good news that the rest of the project has apparently been completed on time and on budget, and we hope that the much anticipated international stopping services at Stratford Station will be initiated without delay”.

The Thames Gateway London Partnership (TGLP) has welcomed the Government’s announcement that funding – from the Government, TfL and businesses - has been secured for the full Crossrail scheme.

Cllr Chris Roberts, leader of Greenwich Council and chair of TGLP said: “Crossrail is a crucial part of addressing London ’s public transport needs and connecting people with places of work, new homes, other transport networks and leisure facilities across Europe ’s largest regeneration project.

“At last, there is a real commitment to giving current and future residents in the Gateway easier and ‘greener’ access to a wider range of jobs”, he said.

TGLP is looking forward to construction starting in 2009 and completion of all sections of the route by 2017.
