They presumably hope HM will perform the opening ceremony when
"One's" line
is formally opened under its official brand. I assume the Elizabeth Line
name will be used once the central tunnel and new stations are
opened, even
if all the sections don't yet have through services. So that could happen
this autumn.

I wonder how many people will use the name "Elizabeth Line" in
normal parlance, compared with those that call it "Crossrail [Line]".
I bet it gets abbreviated to "Liz Line" ;-)


Journalists and political people see to be the only ones who use the
new name for the New Severn Bridge. The rest of us still call it the
New Severn Bridge.

Old habits die hard and I'm sure the same will apply to Crossrail for a
long while.


Indeed, I don't think anyone stopped calling Thameslink, "Thameslink",
even when it was operated by FCC.
