1. Crossrail

   Crossrail is a 118-kilometre (73-mile) railway line under development in London and the home counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Essex, England. A large portion of the line, between Paddington in central London and Abbey Wood in the south-east, is due to open in autumn 2019. At the time of this opening, that new section and two other existing routes will be officially renamed the Elizabeth line, after Queen Elizabeth II. At each end of the central core, the line will divide into two branches: in the east to Abbey Wood and to Shenfield in Essex, and in the west to stations at Heathrow Airport and to Reading in Berkshire. Part of one of the eastern branches, between Liverpool Street and Shenfield, was transferred to a precursor service called TfL Rail in May 2015; this precursor also took control of Heathrow Connect in May 2018. In August 2018 the opening of the core Elizabeth line was delayed from December 2018 until autumn 2019. Before this delay, the Shenfield branch was to have been connected to the core to Paddington in May 2019 and the branches west of Paddington were to be connected to the central core in December 2019, but this schedule is now unclear. The project was approved in 2007 and construction began in 2009 on the central section and connections to existing lines that will become part of the route. As of July 2018, it is 93% complete and estimated to cost £15.4 billion. Its main feature is 21 km (13 mi) of new twin tunnels below the city. These tunnels will run from Paddington to Stratford and Canary Wharf in the east. An almost entirely new line will branch from the main line at Whitechapel to Canary Wharf, crossing under the River Thames, with a new station at Woolwich and connecting with the North Kent Line at Abbey Wood. New nine-carriage Class 345 trains will run at frequencies in the central section of up to 24 trains per hour in each direction. It is expected to relieve pressure on existing east-west London Underground lines such as the Central and District lines, as well as the Jubilee line extension and the Heathrow branch of the Piccadilly line. Crossrail will be operated by MTR Corporation (Crossrail) Ltd as a London Rail concession of Transport for London, in a similar manner to London Overground. TfL's annual ticket revenues for the project are forecast to exceed £800 million per year in 2020/21 and over £900 million per year from 2022/23.

Examples of crossrail in a Sentence

1. Nick Elsden:

   Construction for Crossrail is providing rare and exciting opportunities for archaeologists to excavate and study areas of London that would ordinarily be inaccessible, there are up to 19.6 feet of archaeology on site, in what is one of the oldest areas of the city, so we stand to learn a great deal.
