As it marks its third birthday, the Elizabeth line is now the UK's busiest railway, achieving up to 800,000 passenger journeys daily since its opening. Originally launched in phases, with Bond Street station added in October 2022 and completion in May 2023, the line has faced issues such as signalling faults that affected operations. Despite these challenges, it maintains a good punctuality record and demonstrates the need for continued investment in public transport across the nation. Transport Commissioner Andy Lord emphasizes the importance of supporting such initiatives.
The Elizabeth line has rapidly become the country's busiest railway, demonstrating the considerable demand for enhanced public transport infrastructure as well as the challenges that accompany such expansions.
Despite operational setbacks, it remains the second most punctual railway in the UK, with an on-time arrival rate of 78.2% from October to December 2024.
