Elizabeth Line map

While the Heathrow Express can transport flyers between the airport and London's Paddington Station in 15 minutes, it comes at a pretty high cost – £25. Then, ...

Take the Elizabeth Line’s new Tottenham Court Road station in London, for instance. The Tube’s Piccadilly Line also has service to Heathrow and travels to many of the city’s most popular destinations. It will provide travellers with new and additional public transportation options as they head in and out of London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and throughout the city.

By this autumn, once the Elizabeth Line is fully connected, it will mean a major new and affordable option for travel to the airport and throughout the city. While the new line will truly be a game-changer once the trains run right from Heathrow to the key stops in London, travellers moving around the city will be able to tap into the central Elizabeth line service right away.

Right now, service on the London Underground from the centre of the city to Heathrow costs about £3.50 or £5.50 during peak hours. London officials see this new line as a way to reduce congestion at its London Underground stations, increase rail capacity to the city, and – a key benefit for travellers – make Heathrow more accessible.

They added: “In contrast, the London Underground is the name of a separate mode of transport which operates individually named lines/routes. The Elizabeth line ...

The rest of the UK yearns to have funding lavished similar to London. If the word “Line” gets your knickers in a twist, you might struggle to survive living beyond the reaches of the M25.” The distinction here is that the ‘Elizabeth line’ is in itself the name of the new railway and the route it operates on." Claudi Bendavid on Twitter, wrote: “[I’m] disproportionately irritated that the Elizabeth line bar has the word "line", whereas every other line just has the name of the line.

A guide to the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail), London's newest transport link, including ticket prices and station info.

I like to defy genres, but yeah, I can see why I puzzle people: the short answer is that Transport for London says I’m not simply a tube line, because I also run across a large amount of the National rail network, plus my trains are significantly bigger. Oh, except for Ilford, but Ilford and I are working on it, with the help of TfL. I’m just in zones 1-4 in London until autumn 2022, but my line extends as far as Abbey Wood in the south-east; Shenfield in Essex in the east; and Heathrow and Reading in the west. If you were travelling from Paddington to Heathrow come the autumn then I might actually save you some £££: £10.70 off-peak and £12.70 at peak times. Prices stay in line with current prices for current rail services – inclusive of the fare cap. If you want to go east, you’ll have to change at Liverpool Street for now, but again, by the second phase later this year, Shenfield and Paddington will be seamlessly connected without needing to change. That’s a big saving compared to the £25 for the same single fare on the Heathrow Express – albeit it will take about 25 minutes as opposed to 15 minutes. TfL concessions are accepted and customers with a Railcard discount set on their Oyster card benefit from a third off off-peak pay as you go fares. At the moment, I’ll just be open in Zones 1-4, but just wait until May 2023, when all my networks will be up and running and linked up. I don’t want to boast, but okay I will a bit. I officially open to the public on Tuesday 24 May at 6.30am. It’s an early start but I’m super-excited to start transforming Londoners’ commutes. It’s been 13 years in the making and cost a staggering £19 billion.

The line, built by the Crossrail project, stretches from Reading in Berkshire and Heathrow Airport in west London to Abbey Wood in south-east London and ...

Some were surprised to see the part-overground line on the iconic Underground map.

“This latest tube map is a real credit to the team who have put it together. Julie Dixon, TfL’s interim customer and revenue director, said: “Our world-renowned map now has another iconic addition in the Elizabeth line, which will serve London and the south east for hundreds of years to come. but imagine trying to understand Liverpool Street if you were new in town.” Start your Independent Premium subscription today. I know what’s going on here, because I’m a London geek... “This ground-breaking new route now appears on the iconic tube map as a double purple line rather than a solid line to differentiate the Elizabeth line as a new railway as opposed to a London Underground line.”
