Date for long-awaited Elizabeth line link-up finally revealed

The first direct Elizabeth line trains between Canary Wharf, the Square Mile and Heathrow airport will start running in November, it was revealed on Tuesday.

Transport for London set Sunday November 6 as the date for the next stage of the £20bn line’s opening.
