ORR confirms green light for Elizabeth line opening [ORR]
Date: 13/05/2022
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. Abbey Wood, Canary Wharf, Custom House, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Paddington, Tottenham Court Road, Whitechapel and Woolwich stations have all been given the green light and issued with authorisations. Bond Street has been given the go-ahead for safe evacuation procedures only, as it will open for passengers later than the rest of the line. ORR has also authorised the overall routeway for the Elizabeth lines track and tunnel infrastructure, to allow trains to run through the central section.
