No running is planned on the existing line through Woolwich. Crossrail
will run in tunnel under the Royal Arsenal, with a station just north of
the existing Woolwich station. It stays north of the existing railway
until just past Plumstead, and then rises to the surface, running
parallel to the existing line until the terminus at Abbey Wood

That was the original plan, though with a flyover further east to swap
one track over to give cross-platform interchange at Abbey Wood.
Adding Woolwich station moved the portal eastwards, so the plan now is
to have the north track of the existing line cross over the top of the
portal ramp cutting with the Crossrail tracks then rising up between
the two other tracks, again giving cross platform interchange at Abbey
Wood.
