HONG KONG -- London is set to open its first new subway line in 43 years on Tuesday morning, a state-of-the-art service that will be operated by Hong Kong's MTR as the Asian rail and rapid transit company extends its global reach.
The Elizabeth Line, named for the queen, will boost the capacity of central London's rail network by about 10%. It will connect Heathrow Airport and Reading in the west of London with Abbey Wood and Shenfield in the east via the city center.
