New Civil Engineer reports that the Crossrail project will go ahead

It has been stated that Crossrail will now use an abandoned Thames
tunnel and railway route towards Abbey Wood. But where are these? I
looked on Streetmap.co.uk but the disused railway lone isn't shown.

The plans or route has not changed - some of the recent reporting has
been deficient.

New tunnel under the Thames from North Woolwich to Woolwich, but the
Abbey Wood branch of Crossrail will use the old alignment of the North
London Line from a point west of Custom House to a point between the
old Silvertown and North Woolwich stations - this includes the old
Connaught Tunnel under the Royal Albert Dock (which will be done up).
