News for businesses in Havering. 22 December 2017.
It's now just one year to go until the
beginning of Elizabeth line services that will transform travel across London.
Elizabeth line services will be introduced in phases, with the central
London stations opening in December 2018.
From December 2018, the line will initially operate as three services:
- Liverpool Street (mainline station) to Shenfield
- Paddington (Elizabeth line station) to Abbey Wood via central London
- Paddington (mainline station) to Heathrow (Terminals 2 & 3 and 4)
Fifteen trains per hour will run through the new tunnels, increasing to 24 trains per hour through the central section by May 2019.
From December 2019, customers from the three Elizabeth line stations in Havering (Harold Wood, Gidea Park and Romford) will be able to travel all the way through to the West End and Heathrow without needing to change. To mark the countdown,
Transport for London has released a December 2018 Tube map with the
Elizabeth line displayed. Its inclusion will be among the most significant
changes to the look of the Tube map in recent decades.
Elizabeth line customers
will benefit from brand new, longer trains with walk-through air-conditioned
carriages, live travel information and free Wi-Fi. All 41 stations will be
step-free from street to platform.
Over 60 businesses across the borough have entered the prestigious Havering Business Awards which will take place on Thursday 8 February 2018.
Tickets for the awards ceremony at CEME Conference Centre in Rainham are on sale now.
You can expect fabulous entertainment, pre-dinner drinks, a three course dinner with wine plus an opportunity to network with other Havering businesses.
