The absolutely crucial sentence here is this:

"[...] Gravesham Council said it had been asked by the government and
Transport for London to safeguard land to take the route to Denton in
Gravesend."

It's just route safeguarding, nothing more. I don't think much - if
anything - can be read into it about the status of the (current)
Crossrail project.
