Contractors complete Crossrail track 

Crossrail and its contractors have hit a key project milestone completing permanent track installation work on the Elizabeth Line.

With the track fully laid, the £14.8 bn project has entered a new phase as construction trains are now able to travel the full length of both new tunnels from end to end.


With just over a year to go until the Elizabeth line opens in December 2018, the Crossrail project is now focused on the installation of platform screen doors, signalling, tunnel ventilation and communications systems along with the overhead lines that will power the new trains.


Howard Smith, Transport for London’s Elizabeth line Operations Director, said: “It’s a huge moment in the project, turning it from a construction project into a railway, with around 15 months until our customers ride the first trains beneath the streets of London. Crossrail will continue working hard to fit-out the line and stations ahead of TfL preparing to run and maintain the Elizabeth line from next year.”
