Crossrail

Equitix is co-owner and financier of the fleet of trains operating on the Elizabeth Line, which is a transformational addition to London’s transport network that opened in 2022.

The popular 118 km metro route through Central London to Reading and Essex reduces journey times, creating additional capacity, improving accessibility to housing and employment and supporting economic growth.

The fleet, comprising 70 nine-car class 345 trains, is leased to Transport for London (TfL) and operated by MTR Operations (Crossrail). It was manufactured and is maintained by Alstom under contract at Old Oak Common Depot.

Equitix holds a 50% shareholding in this project through 345 Rail Leasing, Ltd
