Crossrail: New Elizabeth Line journey time calculator on Citymapper shows how fast journeys will be
Just four years and £19billion later, the brand new Elizabeth line is set to open within weeks. The huge trans-London rail line will make journeys across the capital from hitherto underserved areas much quicker and easier. Transport for London’s (TfL) initial Crossrail project will also decongest other lines, meaning other London Underground lines will be less cramped and, hopefully, less delayed.
The line is currently in its final phase of testing and awaits safety approval from regulator ORR, after which TfL can announce the official opening date for the first phase. This is scheduled between May 15 and June 30 at the latest. Phase 1 covers the Paddington to Abbey Wood section of the line, which is expected to run every five minutes. Phase 2 – covering Reading and Heathrow Airport to Paddington – will open later in the autumn.
Ahead of the opening, mapping service Citymapper created a journey time calculator for the Elizabeth Line to show just how fast journeys through the capital will now be.
Here are the details of the journey times between each station once the first phase of the Elizabeth line opens.
