Higher than expected passenger numbers on the Elizabeth Line have resulted in a £20 million fares bonus for Transport for London.
More than two million trips a week have been taken on the £20 billion line since its central section between Paddington and Abbey Wood opened on May 24.
A report by Rachel McLean, chief finance officer for Crossrail, to this week’s Elizabeth Line committee said there had been 14 million more journeys on the Elizabeth Line than expected.
