Want to know what’s going right in Britain? Come to the capital, look at the Elizabeth line railway | Jonn Elledge

London has managed to stabilize the routes and scheduling around the new Elizabeth Line metro in the city. This means they're comfortable with the infrastructure and have the staff to man it properly and they're going from 16 trains an hour to 20 per hour during peak times! That's a train every 3 minutes!

The Elizabeth Line was built to serve east London which had a lack of serious rail services, despite lots of growth over 50 years. It's been wildly successful since it opened in May 2022. It's served over 600,000,000 total trips, with peak days of 800k people per day. The line basically caps out based on how many trains can physically run, so going to 20 per hour could get the line up to a million people per day. That's a huge achievement in the transit world.

Nice work, London!
