The 84 landlords around Tottenham Court Road station must vacate
their premises by 18 November for the £16bn scheme.

The buildings in part of Oxford Street and Dean Street will be
demolished to enable the station to be extended.

Is this really for Crossrail, or does this relate to the expansion of
the existing Central Line station, which Crossrail will share? I
didn't think funds for "real" Crossrail work had been released yet?

Definitely for Crossrail AFAICT. Dean St will be the second entrance to
Tottenham Court Rd Crossrail station. Most of the properties required for
the development at the current entrance have already been demolished.
