All aboard the Elizabeth Line! 65,000 take historic journey between Paddington and Abbey Wood

Elizabeth line began at 6.30am today with services between Paddington and Abbey Wood after £19bn project. But two hours into the launch the service, Paddington station was evacuated when faulty fire alarm went off.

This also resulted in suspension of trains between Tottenham Court Road before it restarted 30 minutes later. Crossrail is initially running in three separate sections which will be integrated this autumn and May next year
