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.Â* 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.

It might depend on the rate of turnover of people, which in London could
be relatively high. There will eventually be people who don't know it as
anything else.

A while back someone at work pointed out that the central London bridge
were were referring to hadn't wobbled in his lifetime.
