I don't suppose the maps are applied in the factory with the production
trains. They'll be stuck in and updated as needed by the operator.

But will the initial trains even be labelled as 'Elizabeth Line'? I
thought the new name would only be used once the trains can use the
tunnel.


No they won't. TfL Rail applies until Dec 2018. It will apply even
when TfL take Heathrow Connect services in May 2018. All changes come
Dec 2018. See the footnotes to this press release about Paddington
Bakerloo Line reopening.

Was Crossrail/Elizabeth line always only going to terminate at Terminal 4 in
Heathrow?
