Bond Street, the most significant central London station on the Elizabeth Line, has opened. The inauguration comes exactly five months behind the interim service on the line. The opening of the station marks a milestone in the complicated build of the new station, under the street of London’s West End, and heralds a major relief of congestion at nearby stations, including the frequently overcrowded Oxford Circus. The countdown is now on for the ramping up of full Elizabeth Line services, running directly between terminals in Essex and Kent, through to Reading and Heathrow in the West.
