As you may now be aware, it has just been announced that the opening of Elizabeth line services through central London have been delayed until autumn 2019. This is because further time is required to ensure a safe and reliable railway.
Whilst safety is also our most important priority at Excel, we share everyone’s surprise and disappointment to have heard this news today. We are now seeking an urgent meeting with TfL and the Mayor’s Office to understand the causes of this delay and to seek clarity on the exact new opening date of this important line for London.
Excel is already an extremely well-connected venue, with two onsite DLR stations, excellent road links and London City Airport on the doorstep. Events that take place here are thriving, with more visitors coming to the venue than ever before. We continue to look forward to further improvement in connectivity that the Elizabeth line will bring to London.
As soon as we hear more information, we will share it with you. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to give our team a call to discuss.
