Show Notes
The Elizabeth Line, or long known as Crossrail, finally has a live date for trains to commence carrying passengers from the 24th May. Initially the great east-west railway beneath central London will be run in three separate chunks – and not at all on Sundays. But within a few years I hope we will have forgotten the chaotic project management and instead celebrate an addition to the capital’s infrastructure.
