The Elizabeth Line - An Armchair Journey

That is lovely. Thank you.

It might be fun to stay at the floating Good Hotel, right on the river, and use the Elizabeth Line to get into London.

Thanks for the gift. We were able to ride the very nice Elizabeth Line to Paddington last May and will ride several stops further east next month. It was such a sleek, quick ride with lots of purple signage and the spiffed up stations like our frequently used Ealing Broadway. Can’t wait to take it from the airport further east soon. I already had my eye on one of the four featured stations to explore. This article peaks my interest.

I thought this would be a source for me to stay cheap(er) for any London visit. Intwresti g to read about the different communities. I would have been interested in Reading.

Thanks, steven! This looks like really nice - hopefully I will have a chance to ride it when I'm there next year. And the Good Hotel looks really interesting. Beautiful photos, too.

I have to tell you, though, that when I first saw the title of the post, I thought you were going to be posting something about Elizabeth Tudor and her line. 🤣

Thanks for the responses , I'm glad everyone is enjoying it . I'll be back in England and Scotland this Autumn , and finishing with two weeks in London , I'm looking forward to riding about on the train , loving the rails as I do .

Mardee , as for the genealogy of " Elizabeth " As I'm sure you know , the background of the House of Windsor was actually German ( speaking of the recently departed Queen ) Changed from the German name by George V in 1917 for obvious reasons, Kaiser Wilhelm II once quipped , that Shakespeare's play , and later the opera by Otto Nicolai , " The Merry Wives of Windsor " would be more properly titled , " The Merry Wives of Saxe - Coburg - Gotha " ;-)
