The trains are part of a £1 billion fleet commissioned for the flagship rail project, which is believed to be costing around £ billion. Crossrail bought 70 trains, which each have room for 1,500 passengers, but only 15 of them are currently in use on existing services, while the rest wait for the track to be finished. The new line will run from Reading, under central London and out to Abbey Wood in south-east London and Shenfield in Essex. SEE COPY CATCHLINE Crossrail's one billion pound trains sit idle
