Ab dem 06.11.2022 wird die im Mai 2022 eröffnete Elizabeth Line Fahrten durch Central London ohne Umstieg ermöglich. Bisher ist ein Umstieg in Paddington erforderlich. Die neue Linie verbindet damit den Flughafen Heathrow ohne Umstieg mit Bond Street, Liverpool Street, Canary Wharf, Stratford und vielen weiteren Stopps.
“From Sunday 6 November, the lines from Reading, Heathrow, and Shenfield will connect with the central tunnels of the Elizabeth line – opening up new direct journeys across the capital. This means that customers travelling from Reading and Heathrow will be able to travel east all the way to Abbey Wood without changing at Paddington. Customers travelling from Shenfield will be able to travel west all the way to Paddington without changing at Liverpool Street. Journeys to onward destinations, including to Heathrow Airport or towards Reading, can be made by changing trains on the same platform at any of the central London stations.”
