Getting Ready For The Flat Pack Station

Custom House station on Crossrail has been described as the flat-pack station, like in this article in the Standard. Here’s the first paragraph.

A £35 million “flatpack” station for Crossrail is being built hundreds of miles from London in a first for the rail industry.

The new station for Custom House is taking shape in a factory near Sheffield, pictured left, before being transported to London for assembly in 2015.

The question has to be asked, if they will be bringing the station to London by train.

The pictures show the state of the site, with lots of work going on.

If we can buy flat pack furniture from IKEA and their ilk, why can’t Crossrail use similar suppliers?
