Rolling Stock
• Lightweight energy efficient trains (10 to 18% lighter)
• Maximised passenger capacity – 200m long 10-car trains with wide aisles
• 1,500 seated & standing passengers per train at peak times
• Regenerates energy during braking (major savings in energy and CO2 emissions) - minimises heat energy into the tunnel

Archaeology • Crossrail’s new ticket hall at Liverpool Street to be built on site of
London’s infamous Bedlam psychiatric hospital
• Many well preserved burials – some at 1.5 m below street level
• More than 85 burials discovered so far, with as many as 6 bodies
per cubic metre
• Analysis of the remains provides insight into lives of Bedlam
inhabitants, as well as information about diet, disease and
mortality
