TfL Rail was the concession which operated commuter services on two separate railway lines in London, England and its environs whilst the Crossrail construction project linking these lines was underway. It ran from 2015 until May 2022, upon the opening of the Crossrail central section, when TfL Rail was rebranded as Elizabeth line and the name was discontinued.{{cite web|url=http://mtrcrossrail.co.uk/company-profile/crossrail/|title=MTR Crossrail – Crossrail Rolling Stock|access-date=1 December 2014|archive-date=1 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141201015939/http://mtrcrossrail.co.uk/company-profile/crossrail/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last1=Smith|first1=Howard|title=Crossrail – Moving to the Operating Railway Rail and Underground Panel 12 February 2015|url=https://www.tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/documents/rup-20150212-part-1-item-09-crossrail.pdf|website=12 February 2015|publisher=Transport for London|access-date=13 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150213113944/https://www.tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/documents/rup-20150212-part-1-item-09-crossrail.pdf|archive-date=13 February 2015|url-status=live}}{{cite news |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/crossrail-named-the-elizabeth-line-royal-title-unveiled-as-the-queen-visits-bond-street-a3186791.html |work=Evening Standard |title=Crossrail named the Elizabeth line: Royal title unveiled as the Queen visits Bond Street station |first=Robert |last=Jobson |access-date=23 February 2016 |date=23 February 2016 |archive-date=25 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160225041023/http://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/crossrail-named-the-elizabeth-line-royal-title-unveiled-as-the-queen-visits-bond-street-a3186791.html |url-status=live }}
TfL Rail was introduced on 31 May 2015 when it took control from Abellio Greater Anglia of the commuter "metro" service between {{stn|London Liverpool Street}} in central London and {{rws|Shenfield}} in Essex. The branch comprised the first 14 stations on the Great Eastern Main Line, with interchange at Shenfield for medium- and long-distance services beyond to East Anglia. TfL Rail had also taken over operation of some services from {{rws|Paddington}} to Heathrow Airport and Reading. Services were operated by MTR Corporation under contract to Transport for London (TfL). Between May 2016 and May 2017, TfL Rail carried over 47 million passengers on the Shenfield branch.
