We apologise in advance should this work cause any disturbance. If you do have a complaint or query, please contact the Crossrail Helpdesk number listed below. The works will require the use of a crane positioned on Hayne Street bridge to lift materials and equipment to site. Excavators with hydraulic breakers will operate on the tracks at Barbican station to demolish sections of the platform and install foundations for the site hoarding. Another site will also be established at 33-37 Charterhouse Square to facilitate deliveries required for these works. Public notices in relation to these works will be placed on the Crossrail hoardings situated on the platforms to further inform members of the public. Works will be carried out in accordance with permission and consents granted by the respective Local Authorities. Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience and we thank you in advance for your patience.
We will update you on planned works for the week commencing 6 to 9 February 2015 in due course.
