Tokyo metro operator edges out Chinese firm to run Elizabeth line

Tokyo Metro Company (TMC) has promised to bring Japanese reliability and punctuality to London's newest rail line after its consortium with the UK transport group Go-Ahead and the Japanese trading house Sumitomo Corporation beat three other bidders for the deal.

The GTS Rail Operations consortium will now take over the running of the line, which opened in 2022, for at least seven years from next May.
