1 May (Part 2) - It’s Crossrail, right?

The Elizabeth Line The Elizabeth LineWhy the sudden fuss about calling Crossrail the Elizabeth Line? In conjunction with TfL’s established practice of adding the word line (with a lowercase L) to its other tube lines, Central line, Victoria line etc. it is going to sound odd.

‘The Elizabeth Line line’, but maybe it confirms that Crossrail is represents a new family of railways, like the Overground and the DLR but they are networks of railway lines so if TfL follows that logic Crossrail 2 will have to be The Elizabeth Line too. (Pun unintended.)

ELIZABETH LINES?

For the record, the ELIZABETH LINE sign went up at Abbey Wood station exactly four years ago today although the photograph (top left) is from two months later.

And also for the record, the Abbey Wood escalator has been reassembled.
