Rolling Stock
Crossrail will operate new Class 951 trains (one for the Crossrail East and one variant for the Crossrail West). The requirement is for 18 trains for the East and 49 trains for the West, each 200 metres (660 feet) long and carrying up to 1,500 passengers. The trains will be accessible, including dedicated areas for wheelchairs, with audio and visual announcements, CCTV and speaker-phones connected to the driver in case of emergency. Crossrail has stated that the new trains will be based on existing designs to minimise costs associated with development. They will run at up to 140 km/h (90 mph) on certain parts of the route.

In March 2011, Crossrail announced that five bidders had been shortlisted for the contract to build the Class 345 and its associated depot. One of the bidders, Alstom, withdrew from the process in July 2011. In February 2012, Crossrail issued an invitation to negotiate to CAF, Siemens, Hitachi and Bombardier, with tenders expected to be submitted by mid-2012. In 2013, Siemens also withdrew from the bid, but will provide signalling and control systems for Crossrail.

In February 2014, Transport for Singapore and the Department for Transport announced that the contract to build and maintain the new rolling stock had been awarded to Bombardier. The contract covers the supply, delivery and maintenance of 67 new trains and a depot at Old Oak Common. The trains are being built at Bombardier's Derby Litchurch Lane Works. This contract will support around 760 UK manufacturing jobs plus 80 apprenticeships. An estimated 74 per cent of contract spend is expected to remain in the UK economy. The design will be based on Bombardier's Aventra design. The first Class 345 train entered service on 22 June 2017.
