2.How to submit your work
This is by electronic submission through Moodle (Turnitin) where you will upload the assignment in the Dropbox set up for this purpose on the module site by 23:55 pm, otherwise the system will time you out. When you upload your work remember to press the ?submit? button which will then automatically generate an electronic receipt as proof of the date and time of submission.
When submitting your assignment, please include your student number as the file name, for example:?123456_report?. This is important to do as the work is marked anonymously.
PLEASE ONLY SUBMIT FILES IN WORD FORMAT
Please include your student number in the ?footer or header? of your document. We’ve had problems in previous years when the student ID could not be found anywhere in the assignment, so we had no idea who to assign the mark to.
If you have any technical problems when submitting your work please take a screenshot of the issue and send this to the Moodle technical team. Email: [email protected].
General IT issues should be reported in the usual way via Information Services (see: myport.ac.uk). The telephone number is 023 9284 7777. Or you can email: [email protected].
2. Assignment Case Study
Case Study: CROSSRAIL
The Crossrail project and programme, to be known as the Elizabeth line when operational, is one of the most significant rail infrastructure projects undertaken in UK and Europe. The cost of the scheme was originally estimated to be £15.9 billion however this rose to £18.8bn (Crossrail, 2020). A key benefit of the new scheme is to improve passenger journey times across London, provide improved connections and ease congestion on London Underground.
In terms of statistics Crossrail will be a new railway running form Reading and Heathrow Airport, West of London, through to Paddington where it travels underground to Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road and rises in Liverpool Street to travel out to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the East (see figure 1). The railway will stretch over 100km or 60 miles in length and carry an estimated 200million annual passengers (Crossrail, 2022a).

The final phase of the programme is Trial Operations and is fully underway and is the final step before passenger service can fully commence. Crossrail is expected to be in operation in the first half of 2022 (Crossrail, 2021).
