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.


Are trains terminating at whitechapel history now? If so isn't that going to
cause problems on the district when there are issues further up the line?


Yes, no terminators at Whitechapel. The new turnback sidings are at
West Ham.

I believe there are also plans to take out the bay platform at Mansion
House as part of the SSL resignalling project.


Are there many terminators at Mansion House? I think that there are not
many.

What are the plans for Tower Hill's bay platform, BTW.
