The first direct Elizabeth line trains between Canary Wharf, the Square Mile and Heathrow airport will start running in November, it was revealed on Tuesday.
This will mean journeys between the capital’s two key business districts and London’s main airport will take just 40 to 50 minutes – and bring the West End within 30 minutes of Heathrow.
Transport for London set Sunday November 6 as the date for the next stage of the £20bn line’s opening.
