Crossrail’s here: The first Elizabeth Line train enters passenger service today

The first Elizabeth Line train entered passenger service this morning between Liverpool Street Main Line and Shenfield, setting off on its first trip after eight years of construction work.

The first Elizabeth Line train was initially due to enter passenger service between Liverpool Street Main Line and Shenfield by the end of May, but it was pushed back until this month as thorough testing of the train needed to be completed
