People travelling to London on the train will notice a "significant" reduction in their journey time, thanks to the new Elizabeth Line. The £18.9 billion new railway line has finally opened following the completion of the delayed Crossrail project.
Great Western Railway (GWR) said the new line will make it much quicker for customers from stations including Cardiff and Swansea who are heading into central London. It comes as visitors from Wales and the rest of the UK are expected to descend on the English capital for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The GWR bosses said that visitors from South Wales will also benefit from the improved capacity and better connections the new line brings to the London Underground. They claim it has halved the time it takes to get to Canary Wharf from London's Paddington Station to just 17 minutes.
