The largest open green space in the Square Mile has had 12 additional tree species, more than 13,000 plants and 6,000 bulbs added to its site to boost biodiversity.

The Elizabeth line control room operates as 'mission control' for the East Anglian rail network, managing 4,000 trains daily at over 200 stations.

Heathrow Airport is closed due to a major power failure. Customers should not travel to Heathrow Airport and are advised to contact their respective airlines for further information.

Commuters using the Elizabeth line should prepare for significant disruption as a track safety inspection is set to affect services between Romford and Shenfield.

Witnesses have been asked to come forward after the incident on platform three at Ealing Broadway station on November 24, at 12.07am, where a passenger's hand was trapped in the train doors. The train departed while the passenger's hand was still trapped, leading to a harrowing ordeal where the passenger was forced to run alongside the train for several metres before being rescued by a railway staff member.

'We are deeply saddened by the passing of our member, who died following an attack while at work. The whole union sends its condolences to their family, friends and colleagues at this awful time.'

Mick Lynch, RMT general secretary, stated, "Our members play a vital role in running the Elizabeth Line and their demands for fair treatment on working hours and leave remain unmet." He emphasized the importance of addressing their concerns over pay and working conditions.
