Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that the Elizabeth Line has finally been opened. It was officially opened today in the early hours of Tuesday. (Read More Here).
According to information, transport via railway has been made easy for Londoners to Paddington, Tottenham Court Road, Canary Wharf, Oxford Street, Woolwich, Liverpool Street and Farringdon.
According to information, Londoners are gushing over the cute interiors of train at Elizabeth Line as transport via rail from Canary Wharf, Paddington, Tottenham Court Road.
Shobi Khan, chief executive of Canary Wharf Group, said the Elizabeth line would also encourage more visitors to “one of London’s best-kept secrets”.
He told the Standard that the 39-minute direct link to and from Heathrow airport would be a “game changer”.
The Elizabeth line opens at 6.30am on Tuesday and Mr Khan said: “It’s a game changer for London and I think Canary Wharf is a big beneficiary of that. It will reduce the travel time for a lot of folks, either [going] west or east. The second big thing is the connection to Heathrow.
“Being able to have companies located here, 10 minutes from City airport and 39 minutes from Heathrow, makes Canary Wharf an attractive place for business, even more so.”
There are 80 restaurants and bars across the Canary Wharf estate, with the acclaimed Indian restaurant Dishoom due to open. There are five residential towers. A school is due to open and there are plans for a private school.

When you use the Elizabeth while it’s still relatively empty: look up the train.
Walkthrough trains means you get to see just how complex the tunnelling route was.
Watch the fishtailing here between Whitechapel and Canary Wharf.

I jumped on the first westbound train from Canary Wharf on the #ElizabethLine this morning. A small bit of London history.

This is the 0630 Elizabeth line service calling at Woolwich, Custom House, Canary Wharf, Whitechapel, Liverpool Street, Farringdon, Tottenham Court Road, B̶o̶n̶d̶ ̶S̶t̶r̶e̶e̶t̶ & Paddington.
A ‘first ever’ public train service that’s kinda been 139 years in the making..

Just went on the #ElizabethLine again today. Took 14 minutes from Paddington to Canary Wharf, which is probably the last time ever I’ll do the journey that quick (we didn’t stop). I doubt you’d be able to do it that quick in a helicopter. Journey is so smooth and quiet.

Never been sure why Tory MPs in Westminster and investment bankers in Canary Wharf don’t get stopped and searched half as often as black kids in Hackney.
