Anyone know what the plans are for the District line platforms at

Just wondered what the space in the middle will be used for since the
platforms have been renumbered.

I believe it will be used to provide an escalator link down to
Crossrail as well as provide a much larger circulation area for
passengers.

The two current tracks are in their final positions, it will be the maximum
size island platform that the space between the outer brick walls of the
cutting will allow.
