ORR has authorised the whole route for the Elizabeth line's track and tunnel infrastructure which allows trains to run through the central section. The London Elizabeth line has been given the final authorisations of its stations, trains and infrastructure ahead of Crossrail's long-awaited opening. Transport for London has confirmed the new line is set to open to the public on Tuesday, May 24.

Transport for London recently revealed that the first train is set to run on the Elizabeth line's central section at 6.30am on 24 May. It will mark the.

This co-operation means we’ve been able to provide these approvals in a timely manner and ensure this state-of-the-art railway can enter into service safely and reliably for passengers, and meet the schedule opening date of 24 May.” This means that any future train operators who would like access to the Elizabeth line network will need a track access contract that has been reviewed and approved by the regulator. Bond Street has only been given the go-ahead for safe evacuation procedures, and will need further authorisations after completion and before opening later this year.

The Office of Rail and Road have officially given London's Elizabeth line the green light ahead of it's opening on 24 May 2022.

“With final preparations underway ahead of opening the Elizabeth line on 24 May 2022, we have been working closely with ORR,” Howard Smith, Director of the Elizabeth line, said. “This co-operation means we have been able to provide these approvals in a timely manner and ensure this state-of-the-art railway can enter into service safely and reliably for passengers and meet the schedule opening date of 24 May 2022.” Regulations set out that no new or upgraded infrastructure or rolling stock can be put into use on or as part of Britain’s rail system unless ORR has provided an interoperability authorisation for the placing in service to ensure it meets appropriate requirements.

Elizabeth line receives final authorisations of trains, stations, and infrastructure from the rail regulator ahead of opening this month.

The project, which was due to be completed in December 2018, has been hit with many delays. The opening comes just a week after this year’s Safety & Health Expo, taking place at London’s ExCeL from 17-19 May 2022, but the new line will transform how visitors will be able to attend the event in future years. The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has issued approvals for all the Elizabeth line stations – with the exception of Bond Street – confirming the stations and infrastructure meet the requirements for passenger use.
