| Get on board with the Elizabeth line Back in May 2022, a miracle happened — the Elizabeth line finally opened! It doesn't matter that it was four-odd years late; after a few months of this shiny new future, we still can't get enough of the purple line. Want to fully embrace this brave new transport world? Start by swotting up on the Elizabeth line need-to-know, including opening times, prices and (rather importantly) where it actually goes. You can also find out how accessible the line really is for wheelchair users. After that, it's time to decide which nickname you're going to give it (options include The Purp, and the Mary Whitehouse line.) If you're one of those folks who likes to cram on trivia, check out our article on how the Elizabeth line stations got their names (one of them is from an Anglo-Saxon area, known for its wool trading). While the Elizabeth line has made life better/easier/faster for some Londoners, that hasn't been the case for everyone, as we found out when we asked Londonist readers if the line had changed things for the better. But if you decide you really ARE a fan, why not treat yourself to one of these exclusive Londonist t shirts (starring some of those aforementioned nicknames). |
