Elizabeth Line passenger service will begin in the first half of 2022, with the first service running between Abbey Wood and Paddington.
When opened, it will initially operate as three separate railroads. Westbound passengers must first transfer at Paddington to access the central section of the route, and eastbound passengers must first transfer at Liverpool Street.
Various organizations such as TfL, Transport for London Underground, MTR Elizabeth Line (as an operator), and Network Rail will be involved in the test operation and will work with thousands of volunteers to handle the test scenario.
Emergency services such as the British Railroad Police, London Fire Brigade, and London Emergency Services are also involved, showing how to respond to incidents at networks and stations. As a result, police, fire departments, and ambulances can be seen near train stations, and you may be able to test and simulate what happens when employees need to be present.
Since May 2021, trains have passed through tunnels to further increase mileage and reliability before the railroad is open to passengers. When the line opens, 12 trains pass through the center of the line every hour. The route is very complex and will continue to be commissioned before the truck is open to customers until it becomes clear that the highest levels of safety and reliability have been established.
The final milestone will be by May 2023, but all routes between Reading, Heathrow and Shenfield will be opened early to connect Reading, Heathrow and Shenfield services to the Central Tunnel from the fall of 2022. There are plans to do so. When the final timetable is available. Towards Christmas, significant progress has been made towards the completion of the line, planned upgrades have been made and work continues at two new stations that have not yet been handed over to TfL. The latest Siemens rail signal software is up and running and the updated Alstom train software is installed on the train. There were also upgrades to both control communication systems and tunnel ventilation systems.
On most days, including weekends, there are activities leading up to the opening of the line. Other exercises include train reaction, signals, platform doors, and track simulation. Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, said: "The Elizabeth Line is transforming travel in London and the Southeast, benefiting millions of people and helping hundreds of thousands of new homes and jobs." Its brand new trains and stepless stations make us Helps to provide a truly world-class modern transportation system that will enable us to support London's population growth over the coming decades.
"Therefore, we are pleased that the opening is planned for the first half of 2022, which will be the milestone of the capital."
Andy Byford, Transport for London, said:
"The start of this coveted and transformative addition to the transportation network will be central to the recovery of London and the United Kingdom.
“Customers can experience new ways of traveling, including a whole new, spacious, stepless station and new connections to the capital and beyond. There is no better symbol of the London Renaissance from the pandemic. "
Transport Minister Baroness Vere said:
"A lot of effort has been put into getting the project to this point, and it's exciting to see the next phase of testing begin ahead of the line that opens later this year."
Mark Wilde, Chief Executive Officer of Crossrail, said: I need wood.
"I would like to thank you for your continued efforts. We look forward to starting the next phase of the pilot."
