I fail to see what would be wrong with the Elizabeth Line.

Sounds like something involved in world cruises.

And "Victoria" is an area of London, but "Elizabeth" isn't.

Err, Victoria is an area of London - was it ever thus? If I dig up a map
of London in the middle ages will I find an area called Victoria?

The area is actually Belgravia, after all. Perchance the area become
commonly known as Victoria after the station was named such? (And I rather
imagine that Victoria Street, wot lent its name to said station, may have
been named after a monarch, although I am just guessing...)


I'm sure we can find an Elizabeth Street somewhere on the route of
Crossrail to satisfy the historical precedent, anyway.
