The central section of the line between Paddington and Abbey Wood opened on, with 12 trains per hour running in each direction through the core section in Central London. The project was approved in 2007, and construction began in 2009 on the central section and connections to existing lines that became part of the route, which has been branded the Elizabeth line in honour of Queen Elizabeth II who opened the line on during her Platinum Jubilee. Its aim is to provide a high-frequency hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system crossing the capital from suburbs on the west to east, by connecting two major railway lines terminating in London: the Great Western Main Line and the Great Eastern Main Line. Crossrail is a railway construction project centred around London.
