Crossrail Announcement Today: Response From Mark Cowlard, EC Harris

Mark Cowlard, Partner and Global Head of Rail at EC Harris

“It is great to see that the government now recognises the considerable impact that infrastructure investment can have on wealth creation of the economy, and in fact how infrastructure itself can have a significant contribution to our GDP. New rail schemes providing better connectivity, capacity, and speed are to be welcomed. The news today of the extension of Crossrail into Hertfordshire is to be applauded, but funds need to be committed to move ideas from good news and potential electioneering into reality and socio economic benefit.”
