Transport for London (TfL) said the line would open, subject to final safety approvals, the week before the Queen's jubilee celebrations. The line will greatly boost transport capacity in London and south-east England, cutting journey times, adding new stations and operating longer trains.
The Elizabeth line will initially operate as three separate railways, with the overground services (already running as TfL Rail in the west and east) planned tojoin directly with the centre from this autumn. The new underground section will operate 12 trains an hour between Paddington and Abbey Wood from Monday to Saturday between 6.30am and 11pm. Later this year 22 trains an hour are planned to run at peak times in central London.
