Phase 2 of the Elizabeth Line is NOW OPEN! THROUGH RUNNING From Heathrow to Central London & BEYOND!

On 6 November 2022, the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail)’s next phase opened for passenger use, which means trains from Heathrow and Reading in the west and Shenfield in the east now join with the central section from Abbey Wood to Paddington to create and link the line in (near) full! I went up to Heathrow Terminal 5 that morning to ride the very first Eastbound service through the new tunnels, with the new links being very useful indeed… so join me as we go through the full Elizabeth Line experience!

*NOTE: There is an error with the voiceover at 12:30 - was meant to say the Circle Line as opposed to the District Line! Apologies and many thanks to those of you who have made me aware of this.*
