Elizabeth line set to be up and running later this year

The Elizabeth Line (formerly known as Crossrail ) is scheduled to be open to the public in December 2018. The line itself though will not be fully open until December 2019.

The new tube line will run services from Heathrow Airport through Hayes & Harlington, Southall, Hanwell and Paddington before crossing through Central London to the east. Ten new state of the art stations will be opened for the line with services set to be introduced in phases.

Once up and running, passengers will be able to benefit from on-board wi-fi, live travel information and new longer trains with walk through air-conditioned carriages.
