Crossrail set to open later this month

Elizabeth line

Central section services should start running on 24 May, project team confirms

Crossrail services should finally start running later this month. The team behind the long-awaited railway has announced that the Elizabeth line is now scheduled to open on 24 May.

The news comes almost three-and-a-half years after the £18.6bn project’s original planned opening date in December 2018 – and final safety approvals must be completed before this decision can be confirmed.
