This is on the Crossrail website:-
Western Section Works Programme
Electrification:-
Enabling Works Started:-Mar 2014
Construction Starts/Started:- Summer 2014
Works Complete:- Dec 2015
Does this now include Maidenhead to Reading?
Not directly.
Crossrail contracts cover Airport Jn-Maidenhead, the contractor is Balfour Beatty.
GW Electrification covers Maidenhead-Reading and beyond, contractor Amey.
But the overall electrification Paddington-Reading(-Oxford/Newbury/Bristol) has to be ready for Dec 2016 to allow IEP/EMU operation, irrespective of Crossrail.
