What the petition asks
The first Crossrail services through central London will begin in 2018. This petition asks that the Crossrail line is renamed 'Elizabeth' in honour of our longest reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. Crossrail is operated in London by TfL, this issue is therefore the responsibility of the London Assembly.
The London Assembly however has its own petitions process. You can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here:
