Full Journey On The Elizabeth Line From Shenfield to Heathrow Terminal 5

[@Sharpshooter99100]

Elizabeth line is awesome. Went on it first time a few weeks ago when coming back to London from overseas. Big trains, fast speed and so many new stations! Should be a great help moving many many people around London. Just what the city needed!

49:45 Are we back to Phase 1 lol

[@notfrom63rd63rd]

why did they skip bond street?

[@MattYeet]

Because when they filmed this, bond street station was still being built

One of the new fastest ways to go Liverpool Street from Stratford, only stops at Whitechapel.

Now Shenfield to Heathrow non-stop. Back in 2002-2004, when I studied at Brentwood school as an international student, my typical trip to Heathrow was: Brentwood to Stratford on First Great Eastern class 315, Central Line to Mile End, District line to Baron's Court, Piccadilly to Heathrow. By this way, all transfers are co-platform. I could travel with bags without too much hassle. The cost was around, IIRC, 6.10 pounds on Travelcard with Young Person discount.

Good to see this new metro line open fully in London, at last a common sense rail link to the airport for everyone ✌️♥🇬🇧 looks good

[@Ro99]

It’s not rlly a metro line but then again that can have different meanings

[@transportjourneysarounduk3467]

Your Heathrow Terminal 5 to Abbey Wood is not Fully HD its just 360p in case you not known.

[@Andrewjg_89]

How comes that Elizabeth Line will not allow their trains to travel to Reading and only to Heathrow Terminal 4 and Terminal 5 to & from Shenfield. I don’t get it why they aren’t allowing some of their trains to go all the way to Reading.

[@gamefan17]

Too long maybe

[@gamefan17]

Shenfield to reading is around 60+ miles I think

[@Super_Trainspotter]

shenfield to reading is a really inefficient use of resources compared to abbey wood and nobody would ever take the whole journey.

[@Andrewjg_89]

⁠Shame really.

[@srfurley]

Years ago, 1980s, very few people used Maryland station. I think it had a train about every twenty minutes, so for most people it was quicker to walk to the main station at Stratford; it’s about a ten minute walk. Now, with a service every seven minutes, quite a lot of people are using the station. Hanwell is also seeing increased usage.

[@gamefan17]

Who is that PA announcer at Shenfield platforms? Also now heard at Tottenham Hale NR

[@metromwamba6095]

Just like when they did the Paddington - Abbey Wood route when Bond Street station's closed due to the engineers are building the new Elizabeth line station architecture

[@jessicababbyy959]

Elizabeth line has all the gaps because they didn't build the platforms probably

[@rileybarker7482]

This is my first time watching the Elizabeth line keep up the good work I love this channel

[@zacmirza6498]

bizarre that they don't stop at Hanwell

Nice bit of arcing in the tunnels from Stratford

£25 off peak

[@elliotbrehm7658]

Can you do some more videos on the Victoria and Piccadilly Lines? Maybe could you do an FPV from Walthamstow Central to Covent Garden via Kings Cross

[@LokiAvivson]

Techandtrains101 is who you should go to if you want FPV journeys as X2K9 is no longer doing them

[@LondonBusRoutesN97]

Will there ever be a point in future when there will be services running between Reading and Shenfield on the Elizabeth Line? There ought to be, imo

[@umarrahman1914]

I said this to others also. They cutting out half the work this company. Central Line go from one end to the other dunno why Elizabeth Line cba.

@@umarrahman1914 central line rarely goes from Hainault to West Ruislip. These are fixed timetabled routes

[@ewanohun5997]

Why is it skipping stations

[@Ro99]

Bond Street there was a problem but the stations out west are skipped for time saving I think

[@ewanohun5997]

So it will stop at all stations as normal

[@Gojira160]

​@@Ro99Isn't that why Elizabeth Line trains are running express past those stations?

[@Ro99]

@@Gojira160 yeah all trains skip various stations west of Paddington except the ones to Terminal 4

I just realised now you can go shenfield to Heathrow, they should do reading as well in future!!

Please do a full journey from Shenfield to Paddington.

This was the journey from Shenfield to Paddington except it was continuing to Heathrow

Thanks so much for this video.

[@RICHARD22570]

Can you do the new Announcements bout the rubbish left on trains

[@annabelholland]

Any non class 345s go thru the tunnel when the line is closed for maintenance/engineering work? Plus what will happen if a class 345 breaks down in the tunnel as it is 12 miles long [and if passengers can use the emergency walkway to transfer onto another train]? (The text in [ ] was not included when i first posted this comment)

[@Ro99]

I don’t think any non-345s would because the station doors are designed to fit them specifically. I’d assume there are special trains for recovery but I’m not too sure.

[@annabelholland]

@@Ro99 thats why i said: when its 'closed for maintenance/engineering work' in the original comment. Ik that non class 345s do not go in the new tunnel sections under normal circumstances because of the platform edge doors (PED) and also possibly the signalling systems. If not, they have to treat it like driving on the roads and 'stop in the distance you see to be clear' but doing it for 12 miles at 10mph is a pain I also forgot to mention what will happen if the train breaks down and if passengers are able to use the emergency walkway (which i suppose is also used for maintenance) to move onto another train

[@Ro99]

@@annabelholland I guess an empty 345 goes in and parks next to the broken down one? Then I guess they get out walk along and go into the train. I think that’s what you mean.
