Nearly half of Londoners have used the Elizabeth line since it opened in May 2022, a new survey suggests.

The results of a YouGov poll shared with the PA news agency indicate 45% of the capital’s residents have made at least one journey on the £19 billion railway.

That is up from 24% in July last year.
