Shenfield station is an existing mainline station that now handles Elizabeth Line trains and is the north east terminus 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 has an article about Shenfield station that advises:

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

When the final timetable is in place in 2023, an Elizabeth line service every five minutes at peak will enable passengers to travel through to Paddington and Heathrow direct, and with a change to Abbey Wood in the east and Reading in the west.
