The public accounts committee blasts the rail project for paying out executive bonuses as it languishes two years behind schedule.

They said in the report:"While the DfT is ultimately responsible for the use of taxpayers' money on Crossrail, the way in which it set up Crossrail Ltd left it with limited powers to step in and take action, including on executive remuneration, when the programme faltered. "We have witnessed cost increases and delays on major rail projects several times over the past few years and the Department still does not appear to have got a grip on the problem."
"Crossrail Ltd. has failed to understand the complexity and risks of Crossrail, to manage its main contractors, and to integrate different strands of the programme successfully.
