Share this with

Getting around London on the underground can be a lengthy process with delays, tube strikes , baffling routes and temporary line closures.

Thankfully, the Elizabeth Line has finally partially opened , albeit several years late, with the new Crossrail system promising to cut down commute times.

Upon completion of the £18.8 billion project, the Travel for London (TfL) service will link 41 stations over 100 kilometres from Reading and Heathrow in the west, through central London, to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east.

And now, commuters and those heading on their summer holidays may be delighted to learn that the Heathrow Terminal 4 station has opened.

So, how long will the journeys take on the Elizabeth Line , both within the city and across the rest of the line?

How long will the Elizabeth Line take to travel from central London to Heathrow Terminal 4?

According to the Crossrail website , Elizabeth Line services from Paddington, in central London, to Heathrow Airport will ‘run every 30 minutes’, with journeys taking roughly 35 minutes each way.

Currently, the route from Paddington to Heathrow Terminal 4 comprises several stops:

• Acton Main Line
• Ealing Broadway
• West Ealing
• Hayes & Harlington
• Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3
• Heathrow Terminal 4

From Monday to Friday, the connection from central London to Heathrow terminals from 4.53am for Terminals 2, 3 and 4. The last Elizabeth Line tube to Heathrow terminals will depart from Paddington at 11.17pm.

On Saturdays, you can head from Paddington to Heathrow from 4.45am, with the last departure leaving Paddington at 11.18pm.

The Elizabeth Line promises to give 1.5 million more people access to central London within 45 minutes, as well as reducing journey times across the capital.

To reach this goal, the project has required 42 kilometres of new tunnels, 10 new stations, over 50 kilometres of new track.

Here is a breakdown of the sections of the line, projected journey times, as well as when they are expected to begin operating.

Central section: May 2022

Trains will start at Paddington in the West and go through to Abbey Wood and will pass through such stations as Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf.

Example journey times:

• Bond Street to Liverpool Street: Seven minutes
• Woolwich to Farringdon: 14 minutes
• Paddington to Canary Wharf: 17 minutes

East section: Autumn 2022

This section will run from Liverpool Street station to Shenfield   in Essex, passing through east London areas such as Stratford and Romford.

• Stratford to Bond Street: 15 minutes
• Romford to Liverpool Street: 27 minutes

Eventually, passengers will be able to travel from Reading and Heathrow through central London to Shenfield or Abbey Wood without needing to change trains.

West section: Autumn 2022

This route will begin at Paddington   mainline station and will split after Hayes & Harlington.

One branch will carry on to Maidenhead and Reading and the other to Heathrow   airport terminals.

• Tottenham Court Road to Ealing Broadway: 13 minutes
• Paddington to Slough: 26 minutes

It should be noted that these times are estimations at this point, with the final version of the timetable is expected to be in place by May 2023.

Crossrail: How quick will the Elizabeth line be? Journey times to all central stations

You will be able to shoot from Paddington to Bond street in three minutes

• 12:47, 19 MAY 2022
• Updated 09:30, 24 MAY 2022

The central section of the Elizabeth line is opening on May 24, when the first phase of delivery of the delayed Crossrail project takes place. The service will run through its own tunnels under London, between Paddington and Abbey Wood, and stop at nine of ten brand new stations - Bond Street will open later in 2022.

The new line is about to slash journey times to and from these stations in the capital, cutting the time to travel from Abbey Wood to Paddington by almost half to 29 minutes. Service will start with 12 trains per hour end to end - so a train every five minutes between Paddington and Whitechapel - between 6:30 and 11pm, Monday to Saturday. A special service will operate on Sunday June 5 between 8am and 10pm for the Platinum Jubilee weekend.

The Elizabeth line will initially operate as three separate railways. Those travelling from Reading and Heathrow will need to change trains at Paddington and walk to the Elizabeth line station there. Similarly, Passengers from the Shenfield branch in the east will need to change at Liverpool Street Station. When the final stage is complete, set to be on May 2023, a single service will seamlessly connect all stations in the line.

You can now use the TfL Journey Planner to plan Elizabeth line journeys for the initial opening stage if you set the date of travel beyond the 24 May. Current journey times between Reading/Heathrow and Paddington and Shenfield and Liverpool Street remain the same.

Timings for the next stage from autumn will be made clearer closer to the time. However, journeys that will not use the new central tunnels will be roughly the same - for example, Paddington to Slough will still take around 33 mins, as does currently with TfL Rail services.

Crossrail: The Elizabeth line's longest walks to change trains or switch to London Underground and how to avoid them

Although the Elizabeth line is certainly very quick, changing to other lines can be slow unless you're shrewd about it

Gilding under Central London at up to 60mph, the new Elizabeth line has been hailed for massively speeding up east-west journey times across the capital, but there's a catch. Its almost 210 metre-long trains and 240 metre-long platforms are so long that some of the stations have lengthy interchanges when transferring to other lines. Paddington's Elizabeth line station, for example, is so big you could fit The Shard sideways in it.

There are also some stations which are so long that they effectively join two together - which is the case at Liverpool Street, where the western end of the Elizabeth Line platforms have connections to Moorgate, and there are others where the Elizabeth line station is not physically connected to the stations of the same/similar name on different lines , notably Canary Wharf and Woolwich.

MyLondon has travelled extensively on the new Elizabeth line route between Paddington and Abbey Wood to find out just how to ensure your speedy trip on the new purple trains is not slowed down by a length trek through the curved concrete cathedrals which are the immense station buildings. Below, we have outlined our top tips.

READ MORE: 'I travelled the entire 78 mile, 41 station Elizabeth line route to find out what Londoners really want from it'

If changing from the Elizabeth line (central section) to Circle/Hammersmith & City lines at Paddington , follow the signs to the mainline station and turn left at platform 1 instead of continuing ahead across the concourse to the signs. Half-way along platform 1, you'll find a footbridge which will take you to the Tube concourse without having to negotiate the busy main one.

If changing from the Elizabeth line to Circle/Hammersmith & City/Metropolitan at Farringdon , you may find it quicker to follow signs to National Rail (Thameslink) platform 4 instead, then walk along that platform to the footbridge at the end of the platform which will take you directly to the Tube. There are also Oyster readers near the footbridge if you need to touch in/out. This can avoid you having to exit the station and then re-enter it from across the road.

If changing from the Elizabeth line to the Northern line , unless you specifically need the Bank branch, change at Tottenham Court Road instead of Liverpool Street-Moorgate. That's because it takes around five minutes to walk from the Elizabeth line platforms to the Northern line platforms at the latter. Changing at Tottenham Court Road will save you around two minutes, which might not seem much but can quickly add up over time on a regular commute. If you have to change from the Elizabeth line to Northern at Liverpool Street-Moorgate, then make your way to the very westernmost end of the platform (front of train towards Paddington and rear of train towards Abbey Wood) and use the direct walkway which will take you to the Northern line platforms. Do not use the middle or eastern ends of the platforms or you will end up diverting via the ticket halls.

If changing from the Elizabeth line to Central line , consider changing at Ealing Broadway or Stratford instead of Bond Street (when it opens), Tottenham Court Road or Liverpool Street as the former stations offer cross-platform interchange which takes seconds whereas the latter stations involve walks of up to seven minutes.

If changing from the Elizabeth line to the DLR at Canary Wharf , even if you're at the very east end of the Elizabeth line platforms, make your way to the west end of the platforms (front of train towards Paddington, back of train towards Abbey Wood) and follow the way out signs for 'DLR and Crossrail Place'. When you reach the exit, turn right, head over the footbridge and then immediately left which will take you directly to West India Quay DLR. This is actually a shorter distance than heading to Canary Wharf DLR, saving you time.

If changing from the Elizabeth line to Thameslink or Southeastern services at Woolwich , use Abbey Wood instead, which is also in Zone 4 so there is no extra fare. That's because changing at Woolwich involves exiting the station and then walking around six minutes to the other station. Changing trains at Abbey Wood is much simpler and takes just seconds thanks to a footbridge between platforms.

Crossrail: when will the Elizabeth line open and what is the route?

The Queen makes a surprise visit to Paddington Station to open new line

• Newsletter sign up Newsletter

London’s long-awaited Elizabeth line is finally due to open this month, four years late and billions over budget.

Will Transport for London’s financial ‘black hole’ lead to Tube closures? ‘See it. Say it. Sorted’: is it the end of the line for train announcements?

In the year that the Queen marks her Platinum Jubilee, passengers are also set to celebrate the opening of the new railway line that takes her name. But the £18.9bn Crossrail project, now known as the Elizabeth line, has suffered major delays and was originally scheduled for completion in December 2018.

Now the new line – or at least part of it – is set to begin operating in a matter of days, with the monarch herself making a surprise visit to Paddington Station to officially open it.

The Elizabeth line has been billed as the capital’s “biggest and most important transport upgrade since the expansion of the Tube network over 100 years ago”, the Evening Standard said. And it promises to “change the lives of millions of Londoners and commuters”.

Royal visit

Just two weeks shy of her Platinum Jubilee, the Queen joined her youngest son Prince Edward to mark the completion of the new line after “episodic mobility problems” prevented her from attending last week’s State Opening of Parliament.

But in recent days the monarch has “rallied”, managing a trip to the Royal Windsor Horse Show over the weekend, before making an official visit yesterday to the new station at Paddington, which is set to open in time for her jubilee weekend. It was her first engagement “ outside of the Windsor area since she attended the Duke of Edinburgh’s memorial service in Westminster Abbey ” last month, reported the BBC .

Dressed in “sunshine yellow” and holding a walking stick, she was welcomed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and TfL commissioner Andy Byford, said the broadcaster.

The monarch was also “given an Oyster card and shown how to use it on a ticket machine” before she unveiled a plaque commemorating the official opening.

When will the Elizabeth line open?

The Elizabeth line is set to open to passengers on 24 May, but will initially operate as “three separate railways”, reported the Evening Standard . A “central section” between Paddington and Abbey Wood will run, with the first trains departing from Paddington and Abbey Wood at 6.30am next Tuesday.

The outlying sections between Paddington, Reading and Heathrow, and Liverpool Street and Shenfield, will also be in operation.

From the autumn, trains will run between Reading, Heathrow and Abbey Wood without the need to change at Paddington, and between Shenfield and Paddington without the need to change at Liverpool Street. But it won’t be until 2023 that “end-to-end” journeys between Shenfield and Heathrow or Reading will be possible without changing trains.

However, Bond Street will not open along with the rest of the line, after construction there fell 18 months behind schedule. This time has been “clawed back” according to the commissioner of transport for London Andy Byford, speaking to The Guardian .

Nevertheless, the station will be ready in late 2022 when direct through trains from the west and east sections also start running under central London.

What is the route for the Elizabeth line?

Stretching more than 60 miles from Heathrow and Reading in the west through central tunnels across to Abbey Wood and Shenfield in the east, the high-frequency, high-capacity service will link 41 stations when it is fully completed. Ten stations will be newly-built, 30 will be upgraded and the final version of the entire line’s timetable is set to be in place by May 2023.

Travellers from as far as Reading, in Berkshire, and Shenfield, in Essex, will be able to reach Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Whitechapel and Canary Wharf without changing lines. The Elizabeth line shares five stops with the Central line and is designed to take the burden off the Underground’s busiest service.

What will it look like on the map?

A new Tube map has been released to mark the opening on the Elizabeth line. As Sky News reported, the new railway features a double purple line – purple being a royal colour – and follows the style of the Docklands Light Railway in having two thinner lines rather than the thicker solid colouring of Underground lines.

How regular will the services be?

When it opens to the public the Elizabeth line will run 12 trains per hour in each direction, New Civil Engineer reported. This will then increase to 24 trains per hour after the central section is opened. The full line is expected to carry half a million passengers a day and around 200 million passengers each year.

The service should be a lot faster, too. A journey between Heathrow and Canary Wharf will take about 38 minutes, the Standard reported.

What will the trains be like?

The state-of-the-art British Rail Class 345 Aventra trains will carry up to 1,500 passengers and the 70-strong fleet will have seven or nine fully interconnected, walk-through carriages.

Carriages will also be equipped with air-conditioned climate control in order to help commuters keep cool in summer and the trains are designed to use up to 30% less energy.

Each train will be 200 metres long, almost twice the length of a London Underground train. However, the new carriages will not be fitted with toilets, after engineers found they would take up the space of 600 customers an hour. Instead, they have compensated with 33 toilets at stations between Shenfield and Reading.

The multi-billion train route will boast all of the mod cons, offering users free Wi-Fi as well as a solid 4G connection. The designers say the carriages offer generous window space and space for wheelchair users.

Will the Elizabeth Line run on Sundays? Journey times explained and new route map for Crossrail

Tfl has released an official map showing the route of the elizabeth line.

After years of delays caused by Covid restrictions and overambitious deadlines , the new Elizabeth Line has opened and is running, for the moment, with a partial service.

The Government and Transport for London (TfL) opened the Elizabeth Line just in time for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee .

It is hoped that the new route will boost capacity and cut journey times for travel across the capital, TfL has said.

However, the entire line won’t be up and running instantly – here’s what you need to know.

Will the Elizabeth line run on Sundays?

At first, the line will operate between Paddington and Abbey Wood from 6.30am to 11pm every day except Sundays, when it will be closed.

It will initially be closed every Sunday – apart from during the Platinum Jubilee weekend – to allow for further testing and software updates to take place.

Currently, passengers travelling from the outer sections of the line (except the Abbey Wood branch) to the central section will have to change at Paddington or Liverpool Street.

TfL says there will be an increased timetable in autumn, and by May 2023, the separate sections of Elizabeth line will be fully connected and services will run to the final timetable.

More from Travel

Where will the new Elizabeth Line serve?

The Elizabeth line will run through the centre of London, spreading out to four peripheral locations – Reading and Heathrow to the west, Shenfield to the north-east, and Abbey Wood to the south-east.

Described by TfL as “one of the most complex digital railways in the world”, the new line combines pioneering technology and design to connect central London with commuter towns to the east and west of the capital such as Maidenhead, Slough, and Brentwood.

Journey times

• The new route will cut journey times between Abbey Wood and Paddington by almost half, to 29 minutes.
• Journeys between Liverpool Street and Woolwich will be halved to 15 minutes.
• Trips between Farringdon and Canary Wharf will take 10 minutes, instead of 24.

Other example journey times:

• Bond Street to Liverpool Street: Seven minutes
• Woolwich to Farringdon: 14 minutes
• Paddington to Canary Wharf: 17 minutes
• Stratford to Bond Street: 15 minutes (autumn 2022)
• Romford to Liverpool Street: 27 minutes (autumn 2022)
• Tottenham Court Road to Ealing Broadway: 13 minutes (autumn 2022)
• Paddington to Slough: 26 minutes (autumn 2022)

The racing community is mourning a beloved member.

Lizzy Musi —who rose to national fame on Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings —has died following a battle with breast cancer, her father Pat Musi confirmed. She was 33.

“Surrounded by her family, in the comfort of her own home, Lizzy was called to heaven at 11:25pm tonight,” he captioned his heartbreaking June 27 Facebook update . “Thank you for all the prayers and support throughout her battle. At this time, the family would like to have time to process, grief and make arrangements in peace. We will give an update as soon as we have information to share.”

Lizzy, who was originally from North Carolina, rose to national drag racing prominence when she was cast on Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings , a spinoff of the original 2018 series. She starred on the show alongside her father.

In April 2023, Lizzy shared she’d been diagnosed with triple negative stage four breast cancer after the disease had been found in her liver and lymph nodes, and in the time since, the reality star was candid with fans about her health journey .

“The month of APRIL marks a full year since I got diagnosed with Stage 4 Triple negative breast cancer,” she captioned an April 11 video shared to Instagram . “I am so very thankful to what this journey has actually taught me. I now know I have a purpose in life. I am grateful to keep going. GOD, my support of my family & friends and my knowledgeable doctors gives me the strength.”

Following the news of Lizzy’s heartbreaking passing, a number of fans took to her recent social media posts to express their sympathies.

“Rest easy Lizzy. You put up a hell of a fight girl,” one user wrote, while another added, “God speed lizzy, say hello to all the racers who watch amongst us. Keeping your family in our thoughts.”

Fellow Street Outlaws drivers Sean “Farmtruck” Whitley and AZN also shared their sadness at the loss of their cast member.

 “We are at a loss of words,” the pair captioned a joint Instagram post . “The racing world and the Street Outlaws family lost one of the great ones today. May you rest in peace Lizzy.”
