I went along to see how the Crossrail construction was progressing at
Abbey Wood and have uploaded a few pics. The temporary station (built on the former car park) is in use, with the old station now being demolished. The third rail tracks through the station haven't yet been moved, but further west they have been slewed to the south (visible from the station footbridge), and rails are already being laid for Crossrail near the Plumstead portal. In the new station, the third rail tracks and island platform will be relocated a few metres to the south, with the new Crossrail tracks and island platform occupying the current alignment. The new station building will be over the tracks, in place of the old footbridge which is currently being demolished. You can also see how a couple of end-terrace houses have been demolished to make room for the relocated third rail tracks. Here's a few pics: https://www.flickr.com/photos/reclin...7650538846330/ I've also included one from platform 4 in London Bridge station, showing the already rusty former Thameslink tracks and disused platform 5. |
