This is currently anticipated to be later this year. I believe this notice has also gone out to London Overground and DLR, and is obviously being advertised in house at MTR Crossrail.
Station handover is rather different to service delivery, however. I believe there is a lot more work to do on getting the infrastructure to work than there is on finishing the stations (despite how unfinished they are). If the station work continued at the pace it was at before the announcement, they would probably all be done 6-9 months before the service is ready to operate.
They’ve been in RTT on and off for about 6 months, so potentially yes. We’ve had links posted in earlier threads last year. It’s just a case of finding the right locations, eg the separate Abbey Wood Crossrail station, which is a separate timing location of Abbey Wood (Crossrail) ABX. I see someone else has already posted a specimen RTT link.
This is corroborated by the (very blurry!) Liverpool Street roundel seen at the end of the video:
I only had a very brief chance to look at the video, but was that not ground rail noise I was hearing? I'll have to check again. The traction gear on 345s really isn't very noisy, certainly not compared to that on some past LU stock.
But TfL don’t own or operate Slough station - it’s GWR. Unless a handover is imminent? Seems very strange
I am someone that doesn't like being too cynical either but 100% I agree with you there. Find a TfL 'improvements' poster about anything that they're doing and it will start with the sentence 'This is part of the plan that the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is doing to....'
It is actually useful for people catching very late/early GWR services to know that they could change at Ealing Broadway/walk to Lancaster Gate from Paddington for services into Zone 1
No it's for the central line. As far as I know no night crossrail services were proposed, even before the delay announcement
Are TfL paying GWR to display these adverts? (which I'd argue they are, rather than public information posters.)
