Crossrail Minister Lord (Tariq) Ahmad has visited Bombardier’s V Shop facility in Derby to ride the Elizabeth line train and inspect production as testing is set to begin in London. The train is set to undergo further test runs on the Shenfield to Liverpool Street line in preparation for the first trains to be introduced on this section of the route from May 2017.
“The new Elizabeth line trains are a great showcase of British design and manufacturing and I am delighted to take my first ride on the trains that will be running on part of the network from May next year,”he said.
The Crossrail project is being delivered by Crossrail Limited and when services commence through central London in December 2018 it will be known as the Elizabeth line.
