The Elizabeth line will run from Reading and Heathrow in the west, through 42km of new tunnels under London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. The new railway, operated by Transport for London, will be fully integrated with London's existing transport network.Woolwich (/ˈw?l?t?, -?d?/) is a district of southeast London, England, within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It has been part of the London metropolitan area since the 19th century.
Crossrail 2 is a new proposed railway linking the national rail networks in Surrey and Hertfordshire via an underground tunnel through London. Crossrail 2 would transform travel in the region, improve connectivity throughout the UK and complement other major national transport projects such as HS2.
Laura Reynolds Will Crossrail Trains Run 24 Hours? At the moment, there are no immediate plans to make Crossrail a 24-hour service — although it's not been ruled out for the future. Sadiq Khan has a good record when it comes to making parts of the tube and the London Overground 24 hours at weekends.
A report published today by the UK public spending watchdog, the National Audit Office (NAO), has criticized Crossrail Ltd for bad decisions and poor planning traceable to 2015, which it says delayed London's new railway and drove up costs unnecessarily.
The project's cost has been estimated at £31.2 billion.

Officially, Crossrail opens in December 2018, when Crossrail trains begin running between Paddington and Abbey Wood, between Liverpool Street and Shenfield, and between Paddington and Heathrow Terminal 4. The Elizabeth line won't fully be open until December 2019 when it will run all the way to Reading.
The $23 billion (£18 billion) Elizabeth Line, billed as Europe's most ambitious infrastructure project, has been repeatedly delayed by problems with safety testing and the completion of signalling work.
HS2 is the government's £55.7bn planned high-speed rail network. It will connect London to Birmingham and to Manchester and Leeds. Crossrail, which is London's £15bn project connecting landmarks like Heathrow Airport and Canary Wharf, is delayed and is due to open nine months after its scheduled launch.
TfL announced that Crossrail pay-as-you-go fares will be the same as Oyster or contactless pay-as-you-go fares. This will begin when the first part of the Elizabeth line opens (hopefully in autumn 2019). So, in short, Crossrail is no more expensive (or cheaper) than the tube if you're using it to whizz around London.
Should the central section, tunnelled between Paddington and Abbey Wood, open in summer 2021, Crossrail anticipates full opening a year later. All stations, bar Bond Street and Whitechapel, would be substantially complete by the end of March, Crossrail said, with the final two ready by the end of 2020.
