TFL has confirmed that people travelling on the Elizabeth Line will pay the same as any other Tube fair across London.

Elizabeth Line pay as you go fares within zones 1-6 will be the same as the fares on all existing TfL services.

All travel on the line will be covered by the usual TfL services, including daily fare capping for Oyster and contactless cards.

This means a passenger will be able to travel from Abbey Wood to Reading on the one train for the same price as any other Tube fair.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan, said: “The opening of the Elizabeth Line this year will transform travel across London, with new state-of-the-art trains transporting millions of people more quickly around the capital.

“I'm delighted to announce today that the cost of travelling on the Elizabeth Line in Zones 1-6 will be the same price as a similar journey on the tube - fulfilling a key manifesto pledge to deliver truly world-class transport infrastructure which is also accessible and affordable for all Londoners.”

The first test trains on the Elizabeth Line were run in February this year, and is set to open in December 2018.
