Japanese subway operator is part of consortium that will take over from Hong Kong’s MTR
Tokyo Metro has promised to bring Japanese reliability and punctuality to London, after securing a contract to jointly operate the Elizabeth Line. The subway operator has vowed to boost the frequency of services on London’s newest train line as part of a consortium that also includes UK transport group Go Ahead and Japanese trading house Sumitomo Corporation.
The change in operator at the most important addition to London’s transport network in a generation comes as rail companies around the world are still recovering from lower passenger numbers during the pandemic. The decision means that the incumbent Elizabeth Line operator MTR, which has run the line since it launched and is 75 per cent owned by the Hong Kong government, was unsuccessful in its bid to win a new deal starting in May.
