JK – Elizabeth Line pakeičia ICE kelionę
By Lewis – 26 m. gegužės 2022 d
Central London will be a 12-minute journey for ICE attendees following the opening of the ‘game-changing’ £18.7bn high-speed train line, which reduces Heathrow/ExCeL journey time to 43-minutes.
The travel experience for both domestic and international visitors attending February’s editions of ICE London and iGB Affiliate London will be transformed following the opening of the capital’s new £18.7bn high-speed train line. The Elizabeth line, which officially opened May 24 has reduced journey times from central London to ExCeL to just 12-minutes.
Kelionės „nuo durų iki durų“ laikas iš Londono Hitrou, pagrindinio tarptautinio centro, kurį naudoja daugelis ICE/iGB tarptautinių parodų lankytojų, bus baigtas iki 2022 m. rudens ir apims vieną nepertraukiamą 43 minučių kelionę traukiniu. Londono Stanstedo oro uostas traukiniu nuvažiuos per 54 minutes, o Londono Lutonas – 34 minutes. Elizabeth Line kursės 24 traukiniai per valandą, todėl per dieną ji galės vežti daugiau nei pusę milijono keleivių.
Stuart Hunter, Managing Director, Clarion Gaming said: “With the opening of the Elizabeth Line, whose colour scheme just happens to be the ICE purple, ExCeL London has to be the world’s most connected event venue boasting two DLR stops, the new mainline station, an airport, water taxis and even a cable car!
“The ease and speed of the journey will improve the visitor experience with the significant time savings leading to an increase in opportunities for networking, learning and business. Giving buyers more time to be in the venue will undoubtedly deliver enhanced ROI and I expect an even higher percentage of C-Suite delegates to attend our world class events.
“The opening of the Elizabeth Line is a game changer on many different levels not least the access it provides to many hundreds of central London hotels which are now a 12-minute journey from ExCeL courtesy of the Elizabeth Line’s state of the art, high-speed trains. This major development coincides with the return of the entire gaming industry to ICE in 2023 ensuring that next February’s edition will be amongst the most memorable in the history of this major international event.”
Since reopening in summer 2021 ExCeL has welcomed over 1.5 million visitors and has invested in a 25,000sq.m expansion programme to further enhance its facilities.
