The Train Guy's video: Bond Street - London s Newest 600 Million Railway Station Elizabeth Line

London's swanky and expensive railway station which overshot its budget by at least £500 Mn. Bond Street is a London Underground and Elizabeth line station in Mayfair, in the West End of London. It is located on Oxford Street, near the junction with New Bond Street. The station is on the Central line, between Marble Arch and Oxford Circus stations and on the Jubilee line, between Baker Street and Green Park stations. It opened as an Elizabeth line station on 24 October 2022, between Paddington and Tottenham Court Road. It is in Travelcard Zone 1. Between 2009 and 2022, the Crossrail project built a new Elizabeth line station at Bond Street. Originally planned to open in 2018, Bond Street did not open with the rest of the central London Elizabeth line stations in May 2022, due to tunnelling problems dating back to 2014. The various delays meant that the station was approximately £500m over budget. The Elizabeth line station was opened on 24 October 2022 by the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. Two new ticket halls were built by Crossrail at Davies Street and Hanover Square. Architects included John McAslan and Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands. The Elizabeth line is a high-frequency hybrid urban–suburban rail service in London and its suburbs. It runs services on dedicated infrastructure in central London between London Paddington and Abbey Wood; along the Great Western Main Line from London Paddington to Reading and Heathrow Airport in the west; and along the Great Eastern Main Line between Liverpool Street and Shenfield in the east. The service is named after Queen Elizabeth II, who officially opened the line on 17 May 2022 during her Platinum Jubilee year; passenger services started on 24 May 2022.
