Of course, I haven’t been able to resist some more rides on the Elizabeth line in its first week of operation. On Friday I ventured to Liverpool Street station, whose new platforms are so long that at their western end there is a direct connection to Moorgate station. Similarly, the eastern end of Farringdon has a connection with Barbican on the Metropolitan line. That gives an idea of the colossal scale of this project — as do, I hope, the pictures below. All show the Moorgate exit at Liverpool Street.
Perhaps, too, I will withdraw my previous comment about the trains feeling narrow and dull… on subsequent trips they have seemed much more spacious than I first thought. The lighting is subtle, rather than dull. And they are British-built (by Bombardier in Derby) too.
