Tunnel vision: Anticipation builds at Shay Murtagh Precast ahead of Elizabeth Line opening

When it begins welcoming passengers to the depths of London’s underground next Tuesday, May 24, the new Elizabeth line rail service will mark the end of a mammoth construction story, 13 years in the making.

Built at a cost of £19bn (€22.3bn) and described as “one of the most complex digital railways in the world”, the Elizabeth line will eventually connect central London with commuter towns to the east and west of the city, significantly reducing commuter times for passengers.
