Last March Andrew Wolstenholme gave ‘no indication’ scheme could be late, according to Joanne McCartney
The deputy mayor of London has accused ex-Crossrail chief executive Andrew Wolstenholme of misleading London Assembly members at a meeting just before he left in March 2018.
Joanne McCartney made the remarks in the assembly chamber this morning, when the transport committee grilled former Crossrail executives about why the project was revealed to be £2bn over budget and more than a year late just months before it had been due to open.
She said: “You briefed us on Crossrail and from my memory it was all positive; there was no indication that there was any risk or anything which could stand in the way of a December opening date.”
