Paddington to Canary Wharf will take 17 minutes
Bond Street to Liverpool Street will take seven minutes
Woolwich to Farringdon will take 14 minutes
The east and west sections will open in later stages.

East section: expected to launch in autumn 2022
This section will run from Liverpool Street mainline station to Shenfield in Essex, passing through eastern areas such as Stratford and Romford.

Example journey times:

Romford to Liverpool Street will take 27 minutes
Stratford to Bond Street will take 15 minutes
West section: expected to launch in autumn 2022
This route will begin at Paddington mainline station, splitting just after Hayes & Harlington, with one branch going to Maidenhead and Reading and the other to Heathrow airport terminals.
