West Drayton Station – 27th April 2015

These pictures show the progress at West Drayton station.

Unlike at New Cross Gate, the bridge was built off-site and then lifted into position. This page on the Crossrail web site has a picture of the lift.

This is a Google Earth image of the area round West Drayton station.

Note the Grand Junction Canal, which will surely end up as a water-feature at the station.

This page on the Crossrail web site describes how the final station will look.

In the Google Earh image you will notice there are five platform faces, numbered 1 to 5 up the image. 1 and 2 face the two fast lines and 3 and 4 the slow ones. Platform 5 is not used at present and is anyway blocked by the reconstruction of the station. Will it be used in the future?
