The completion of the permanent track is a significant milestone in the delivery of the Elizabeth line. More than 50km of new, permanent track has been installed between Westbourne Park in west London and through to Plumstead and Pudding Mill Lane in the east. The final section of track was completed in the eastbound tunnel of the new Whitechapel station earlier this summer.
The Crossrail programme - Europe’s biggest infrastructure project, is now over 85% complete. With just over a year to go until the new Elizabeth line railway opens in December 2018, the programme is running on time and on schedule to be delivered within its £14.8bn budget.
