There are two island platforms, originally numbered (I presume) 1 to 4. Plat 1 is the eastbound. The track has been lifted at plats 2 and 3 and the trackbed has been fenced off at both ends of the station. Plat 4 has been renumbered plat 2. This platform has been widened outwards so the track has been re-aligned. The old wooden canopy has been extended to the platform edge by a new modern canopy along its length, looks very odd! 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. There are some limited plans on the Crossrail website. http://www.crossrail.co.uk/route/sta...hapel/#content http://www.crossrail.co.uk/route/sta...echapel/design It's all clear now, I'd forgotten that Crossrail was stopping there.
