How long will the new Elizabeth Line take to travel across London? Projected journey times

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.

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.

Just four years and £19 billion later, the brand-new Elizabeth line is set to open in a matter of weeks. The huge trans-London trainline will make journeys across the capital from until-now badly connected areas much quicker and easier. Transport for London's (TfL) initial Crossrail project will also decongest other lines, meaning other London Underground lines will be less cramped and, if all goes well, less delayed.

TfL has announced today (May 4) that the first stage of the new line will open on May 24 . Phase 1 covers the Paddington to Abbey Wood section of the line, which is set to run every five minutes. Phase 2 - covering Reading and Heathrow Airport to Paddington - will open later in the autumn.

In advance of the opening, mapping service Citymapper has created a journey time calculator for the Elizabeth line to show just how quick trips across the capital will now be.

Here is a breakdown of journey times between each station once the first phase of the Elizabeth line opens.

Elizabeth Line map: London Crossrail route, cost and the date the full service will open

The Crossrail project has officially launched, with passengers taking the first trains from Abbey Wood and Paddington just after 6.30am on Tuesday 24 May.

The £20 billion project connects the outer western edges of the capital to the outer east.

Currently the high-speed transport link is operating in three sections — the western section between Reading, Heathrow and Paddington, the central section between Paddington and Abbey Wood, and the eastern section between Liverpool Street and Shenfield.

On 6 November, the next phase of the Elizabeth line will launch: integrating services from the east and west into the central tunnels. The three sections will be brought together, enabling passengers to travel from Reading and Heathrow through central London to Shenfield or Abbey Wood without changing trains.

In preparation for this next stage, and the launch of a seven-day service across the whole line, services between Paddington and Abbey Wood will operate for longer, from 5.30am until around 11pm, each day from 5 September.

The final version of the timetable across the entire line is expected to be in place by May 2023.

The Crossrail effect: property price growth along the Elizabeth line

Now that trains are running along the route, the service is officially called the Elizabeth line .

Bond Street station will open for the Elizabeth line in autumn this year according to TfL commissioner Andy Byford.

What is the Elizabeth line?

It has been billed as the capital's biggest and most important transport upgrade since the expansion of the Tube network over 100 years ago and promises to change the lives of millions of Londoners and commuters.

The route will pass through 41 stations, stretching over 60 miles, from Reading and Heathrow airport in the west through central London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east.

More than 1.4 billion Tube journeys were made in 2018/2019, according to TfL. It is hoped that the new service will ease the burden on the network while also catering for a London population that’s growing by 100,000 a year.

It's thought more than 200 million passengers will use the Elizabeth line each year.

Nine new stations are being built as part of the project, at Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Whitechapel, Canary Wharf, Custom House and Woolwich.

An existing station at Abbey Wood has been redeveloped for Crossrail.

Elizabeth line delays and costs

The original funding allocated for Crossrail was £14.6 billion in 2010. In 2018 this was revised to £17.6 billion.

Just three months before the anticipated 2018 opening ceremony the first of the delays was announced, with the most recent of these declaring that the central section of the line would open by the end of June 2022. TfL then brought this forward to May 24, in time for the early June bank holiday to mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee .

The agreed funding has now reached £18.8 billion. TfL has permission to spend an extra £1.1 billion to get the line in full service but, as things stand, has only been able to secure £825 million of loans.

The impact of the pandemic will cost Crossrail about £1 billion in lost fares, according to TfL.

Earlier this year the London Assembley sought assurances from TfL about its ability to fund the remainder of the project should the costs of opening the long-delayed line continue to rise.

Opening dates and key journey times

Three separate sections of the line launched on May 24.

Central Section: launched in May

Trains now run from the new Elizabeth line station at Paddington to Abbey Wood , a route that passes through main employment hubs such as Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf.

Example journey times:

• Paddington to Canary Wharf takes 17 minutes
• Bond Street to Liverpool Street will take seven minutes
• Woolwich to Farringdon takes 14 minutes

Bond Street station will open for the Elizabeth line in autumn.

The east and west sections will be joined to this central section on 6 November.

East section: to launch in full on 6 November

This section currently runs from Liverpool Street mainline station to Shenfield in Essex, passing through eastern areas such as Stratford and Romford.

• Romford to Liverpool Street will take 27 minutes
• Stratford to Bond Street will take 15 minutes

The east section will be joined to the central section on 6 November, enabling passengers to travel from outer east London to outer west without changing platforms at Liverpool Street.

West section: to launch in full on 6 November

This route currently begins at Paddington mainline station, splitting just after Hayes & Harlington, with one branch going to Maidenhead and Reading and the other to Heathrow airport terminals.

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

The west section will be joined to the central section on 6 November, enabling passengers to travel from outer west London to outer east without changing platforms at Paddington.

Crossrail route map: New Elizabeth line stations, full list of stops and TfL journey times explained

Transport for london has released an official map showing the route of the new elizabeth line, which should open in time for the queen's platinum jubilee.

Transport for London has confirmed that the Elizabeth line will open on 24 May, 2022 following years of delays. The new Tube and Crossrail will start service – subject to safety checks – just in time for the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations .

The £19bn route, which was originally supposed to open on 9 December, 2018, has faced a series of setbacks related to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on construction and revised assumptions about the pace of the project.

Where will the new Elizabeth Line serve?

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

Described by TfL as “one of the most complex digital railways in the world,” the new line combines pioneering technology and design to help serve central London and commuter towns.

The aim of Crossrail is to connect commuter towns to the east and west of London to the centre of the city.

The line travels through popular towns such as Maidenhead, Slough, Ilford and Brentwood.

Crossrail: Elizabeth line opening date finally revealed by Transport for London

It is hoped the Queen - who the line is named after - will be involved in the opening. The project has been delayed by years and gone hugely over budget.

Wednesday 4 May 2022 12:43, UK

The capital's new Crossrail service, known as the Elizabeth line, will open on Tuesday 24 May, Transport for London said.

The railway will run from Reading in Berkshire to Shenfield in Essex and Abbey Wood in southeast London.

It was was originally planned to open in full in December 2018 but it was hit by numerous problems including construction delays and difficulties installing complex signalling systems.

It is hoped the Queen - who the line is named after - will be involved in the opening.

The Elizabeth line will operate 12 trains per hour between Paddington and Abbey Wood from Monday to Saturday 6.30am to 11pm.

Further testing and software updates will take place on Sundays.

The Sunday closures will be lifted on 5 June to help people travelling in the capital during the Platinum Jubilee weekend.

Andy Byford, TfL's commissioner, said: "I am delighted that we can now announce a date for the opening of the Elizabeth line in May.

OPENING SOON: Some exciting news about the opening of the #Elizabethline . London’s newest railway will open on Tuesday 24 May 2022. pic.twitter.com/xO5S3Ciwck — Crossrail Project (@Crossrail) May 4, 2022

"We are using these final few weeks to continue to build up reliability on the railway and get the Elizabeth line ready to welcome customers.

"The opening day is set to be a truly historic moment for the capital and the UK, and we look forward to showcasing a simply stunning addition to our network."

The project went massively over its original £14.8bn budget in 2010.

The total cost of the project has been estimated at £18.9bn, including £5.1bn from the government.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said the Elizabeth line will make London "safer, fairer, greener and more prosperous".

Crossrail journey times

Liverpool Street to Ealing Broadway: 19mins (currently 32mins)

Tottenham Court Road to Heathrow Terminal 4: 39mins (currently 61mins)

Woolwich Arsenal to Canary Wharf: 5mins (currently 22mins)

Stratford to Bond Street: 14mins (currently 22mins)

Tottenham Court road to West Drayton: 32mins (currently 42mins)

He went on: "This is the most significant addition to our transport network in decades, and will revolutionise travel across the capital and the South East - as well as delivering a £42bn boost to the whole UK economy and hundreds of thousands of new homes and jobs.

"Green public transport is the future, and the opening of the Elizabeth line is a landmark moment for our capital and our whole country, particularly in this special Platinum Jubilee year."

But, the Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has claimed the decision to announce the opening date for the Elizabeth line a day before local elections in London breaches pre-election rules .

The cabinet minister accused Mayor of London Sadiq Khan of "breathtaking political cynicism".

He said he would be "referring this breach to the Electoral Commission for investigation".

Mr Khan dismissed the claims from the transport secretary.

A full timetable with direct trains running across the Elizabeth line is expected to launch by May 2023.

Bond Street Elizabeth line station will not be ready to open on 24 May but is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

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.

"We wanted to see the countryside, avoid airports and have a relaxing trip."

If that's your priority then I would disagree with the advice to fly... even though flying from Exeter is a lot less painful than flying from other, larger, airports.

If you've flown with Jetstar then you shouldn't be concerned about Ryanair.

I've just checked the websites, and found that Exeter to Holyhead via Birmingham involves two or three changes, although none of them involve a change of station. And it isn't cheap! For scenery, the best journey involved changes at Bristol and Newport, then you go all the way across Wales to Holyhead. Superb! However, I suspect (others may be able to say for sure) that the Welsh part of the journey would be on a small and less comfortable train, possibly with limited or no buffet facilities.

I find them pretty comfortable myself, though, and I prefer them to the majority of the trains run by the Cross Country network, which I don't think are fit for purpose.

Hello again,

After rumbling through India from Bottom to top, (on an old slow train that was never on time), I'm sure the Wales service will be fine. The buffet car was an old Indian guy that prepared 3 course meals and washed up in the space between carriages. Not a kitchen in sight. And the sleeper trains squashed an extra tier in each "cabin", plus a single all along the aisle.We also had two kiwi guys sleeping on the floor between our bunks as there were no more beds. No doors/ curtains or privacy. It was a great experience! Such a laugh.

England looks so beautiful, I would hate to miss the scenery. And hopefully my luggage will be with me at the other end.

I will however look at flying from Exeter, as recommended, and then maybe relax on the ferry/ train back to London . Which is also a great suggestion. It is probably more straight forward than Barnstaple to Dublin on the way over. Bring on Ryan Air......As they say- it is the journey not the destination.

Thank you all again!

You've already been advised to use the National Rail website for times and fares and buying tickets - it's the website run by the actual train operators, not a ticket agency.

You don't say which date you are travelling but picking a random Saturday in April gives a price of £49 for a sail-rail single from Barnstaple to Dublin Ferryport. We don't use Euros in the UK so you might as well buy from the operator to save additional conversion costs on your card - converting from Euros to £ to AUD will cost you more than a straight £ to AUD conversion.

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/

I am guessing €124 is for two people. Still more than £98 though. Loco2 is one of the best train travel agencies out there and recommended by seat61 but I agree go direct with the operator.

This is a really long trip to do in a day though.
