The Elizabeth Line celebrated its first anniversary this week, rolling out its full timetable with direct services from Essex to Heathrow for the first time. Since opening for business, the £20 billion route has transformed journeys for hundreds of thousands of people living and working in the capital.
With work having started on the project in 2009, the ‘Crossrail Effect’ — and resulting micro property price booms near new Elizabeth line stations — really gathered pace as it became increasingly apparent that the service would reach completion.
