No, but I did see something a couple of days ago online announcing this "first service". -- Roland Perry |

At least the aircon works. |

I suppose you were too busy using news:uk.transport.london to discuss Ely minicab licensing to forward the information there? |

-septe mber.org, at 19:54:35 on Fri, 23 Jun 2017, Recliner remarked: Can we thus assume that Phase I of Crossrail service has started, with the first 345 wheels turning in anger? Well, sort of. They're not using the Elizabeth line branding yet, as the current route is no different to what it was before the new trains were introduced, though there's been lots of trackwork. You could have done exactly the same trip long ago. And, this isn't even the first Crossrail track to be used: the Stockley Flyover has that claim to fame. http://www.crossrail.co.uk/news/articles/major-milestone-reached-in-the-construction-of-stockley-flyover So Heathrow Connect's use of the Stockley Flyover from the end of 2014 could be said to be the first phase of Crossrail to have been brought into use. And the 345s aren't even phase 2; the Acton diveunder probably gets that award: https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/201...on-dive-under/ So this latest development might be best described as the third phase of Crossrail to come into use (unless I've missed out any others!). They've been doing trackwork south of Shenfield station, and it's possible that some new movements, which that permits, are in service. But I've not been on site. -- Roland Perry |
