London’s Transport Commissioner, Andy Byford, has confirmed that the long-delayed Elizabeth Line will open before 30th June 2022.
Although, he won’t give an exact date just yet.
The east-west line, which will link Reading and Heathrow with Shenfield and Abbey Wood via twin tunnels between Paddington and Whitechapel, was initially meant to have opened in December 2018 but has fallen years and billions over budget.
The Evening Standard’s City Hall Editor, Ross Lydall, explains everything we know so far about the £20 billion line.
