Trace the development of the Crossrail Line

Crossrail is a project to build major new railway connections under central London. The name is also used to refer to the first route proposed by the project, which is based around an east-west tunnel from Paddington to Liverpool Street station, and more formally known as Crossrail Line 1.

The first line is based around a new pair of east-west tunnels under central London connecting the Great Western Main Line near Paddington to the Great Eastern Main Line near Stratford. A second eastern branch diverges at Whitechapel, running through Docklands and emerging at Custom House on a disused part of the North London Line, then under the River Thames. Trains will run from Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east, taking over the existing stopping services on those routes.

As many as 65 new trains are planned to be constructed for use on Crossrail. It is intended that these will be five-car electric multiple units, which will operate in pairs coupled together, forming ten-car trains.
