Crossrail opening date revealed

Crossrail Ltd

Crossrail, the £19bn project to build a fast east-west link through London, will finally open to passengers on 24 May – 41 months later than originally planned.

But the line beneath the capital will not run on Sundays until some time in the autumn, and one of the key central London stations – Bond Street – will not open until later in the year.
