Things like this get built off the back of public investment and subsidy.

HS1, HS2, and the Oxford - > Cambridge line all massively contribute to the reason this is getting built. Not to mention all the Public roads in Bedfordshire.

We must first invest public-ally then the private money follows. Crossrail cost £18.8 billion but the wider economic benefits it brings to London and the UK, are estimated at £42 billion.
