The Anonymous Widower

Track Laying At Abbey Wood

The Crossrail contractors have started laying the track between Abbey Wood station and the Plumstead portal.

The first picture was taken from the bridge at Abbey Wood station looking towards Plumstead shows the kink in the North Kent Line, as it shifts to the right.

It would appear that the new Abbey Wood station has two island platforms, with the one on the Southern side serving the existing North Kent Line and the other on the Northern side giving two platforms for Crossrail. So it looks like the current platforms 1 and 2, will become 2 and 3.

Correct me, if I’ve got this wrong!

It will be an interesting site to watch in the next few years.
