I popped along to Abbey Wood yesterday, the future Crossrail terminus.
It's moved along quite a bit since my last visit, with both of the third rail tracks now in their final positions, and quite a bit of Crossrail track in place near the portal, so here's a few of my pictures for people who don't frequent the North Kent line: https://www.flickr.com/photos/reclin...57670104050133 I must admit I don't understand why Crossrail and the North Kent line have separate island platforms, rather than having the Crossrail pair between the third rail tracks, thus allowing cross-platform interchanges. The down third rail track could have been re-routed to the north of the portal, so that it was on the north, rather than the south of the new Crossrail pair. With that arrangement, both down tracks would flank one island platform, and both up platforms the other. It would save a lot of passengers the hassle of having to cross from island platform to the other. |
