The Elizabeth Line Tour - Reprise
The Elizabeth Line Tour - Reprise
Saturday 31 December 2022
Start time/place: 10.00am/Paddington Elizabeth Line entrance outside platform No. 1 (the former taxi road parallel with Eastbourne Terrace)
Finish time/place: 12pm/ Liverpool Street Station
A repeat of last year’s very popular and oversubscribed tour of the Elizabeth Line led by the chair of the C20 Society, Ian McInnes. The tour aims to provide a recognition of the project's scale together with an appreciation of the innovative thinking behind its concept and detail design.
Unlike other recent Transport for London underground lines, the design concept behind the Elizabeth Line is different – with its coherent look and more corporate feel giving a more intuitive way to pass through the underground environment. The tour will provide an opportunity to understand those differences while appreciating the scale of the project.
We will cover the central section of the line, from Paddington to Liverpool Street. There will be stops at Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, and Farringdon to look at the developments above the new ticket halls – several of the sites were C20 casework cases.
Ian McInnes is the current C20 chair and an architect
