Before Crossrail – Shenfield
A New Platform, Signs And Displays And It’s Ready – Rating 8/10
Shenfield is the station at the end of the Eastern Branch of Crossrail.
Other than creating a new platform for Crossrail, the station is nearly ready, except for sign-age and display screens.
There are certain issues that will have to be decided before Crossrail opens.
- At present Shenfield is outside of Zone 6 and I can’t get there using my Freedom Pass. Will that change, when Crossrail opens?
- Will the fast and slow lines at the station, be reorganised to make interchange between Southend and Norwich/Ipswich services to Crossrail, just a simple walk across the platform?
- The station is in Essex, but should it have bus maps and signs to the London standard?
I don’t think that there’ll be much controversy when this station opens.
