Arup was commissioned to undertake this study in order to help businesses, local authorities and other organisations revisit and plan for the likely impacts and opportunities that Crossrail may bring to central London. Driven by population and employment growth in London and the South East, the report reveals that Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road and Farringdon stations could serve as many as 250 million visitors into and out of central London by 2026.

On an annual basis, this is equivalent to some 166 million additional passengers than use the three stations today.
