Lib Dem transport spokesperson Cllr Jim Jenks comments on the Crossrail 2 proposals:

“We fully support the Crossrail 2 regional option which would see Alexandra Palace and Tottenham getting far better transport links. This is the best option for the borough as it would relieve pressure on the Victoria and Piccadilly lines, making the daily commute for local residents much easier.

“The new train links would also make Alexandra Palace more accessible to people across London and improve transport links between Tottenham and the centre of London.

“This is a great opportunity to improve transport in the borough and assist in the regeneration of Tottenham. It is vital that we get have better routes between Tottenham and the rest of London to boost the local economy, help residents access jobs across London and get more people visiting Haringey.”
