MTR Corporation (Crossrail) Limited (MTREL) was the operator contracted to run London’s Elizabeth line, a concession awarded by Transport for London in 2014. Initially, services operated under the TfL Rail branding, connecting Paddington to Reading and Heathrow in the west, and Liverpool Street to Shenfield in the east. In May 2022, the Central Section opened, formally launching the Elizabeth line and providing a new west-to-east route via Liverpool Street to Abbey Wood. The Elizabeth line offers new travel options and shorter journey times, and it is associated with regeneration across London. MTREL is based in London, England and has a mid-sized workforce. Recent activity includes recognition at the National Transport Awards in 2024, where MTREL celebrated two major wins.
