Maidenhead station is an existing mainline station that now services Elizabeth Line trains and is on the north west section of the Elizabeth Line.

The trains are a vast improvement on the rolling stock used on the other tube lines. The trains have nine carriages that can be walked through from end-to-end and measure nearly 200 metres in length. They each have a capacity of 1300 passengers.

On the well-known tube map the Elizabeth Line is indicated by two parallel purple lines.

The Cross Rail website tells us about Maidenhead station:

Crossrail, Network Rail and Transport for London (TfL) have worked together to improve Maidenhead station in preparation for the start of Elizabeth line services, which commenced in May 2022.
