The Elizabeth Line officially opened in London today - and we went along to see whether it lived up to the hype.
The new Crossrail is estimated to have cost £19billion (far higher than the initial £14.8billion budget), with construction having begun over a decade ago.
The whole line hasn't opened at once - only the central section from Paddington Station to Abbey Wood is running – but this should still make life easier for commuters travelling from East to West or vice versa.
