CROSSRAIL

Crossrail is delivering a new railway for London and the South East. When the service opens in the first half of 2022, the new railway will be known as the Elizabeth line. Trains will travel from Reading and Heathrow in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east via new twin tunnels under central London. Linking Heathrow Airport, the West End, the City of London and Canary Wharf it will change the way people travel around London and the South East and add much needed new capacity to London's transport infrastructure.
