It's a question that's been on many Londoners% minds for some time ... just when will the new Crossrail open?

The new railway is being built to speed up services across the capital running from Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east, to Heathrow and Reading in the west.

The line will span 60 miles and stop at 41 accessible stations, 10 newly built and 30 newly upgraded, and is expected to serve around 200 million people each year.

The Elizabeth Line was originally due to open in December 2018 but has been put back amid ballooning costs and the coronavirus pandemic.
