Further Crossrail passenger test from Woolwich undertaken
Today saw another test of Elizabeth Line services starting from Woolwich to test procedures before opening to the public.
The scenario today was evacuating passengers from a Crossrail tunnel via an escape shaft at Limmo Peninsula near Canning Town, between Custom House and Canary Wharf stations.

Passengers set off from Woolwich where the test saw a train “fail” in a tunnel, before passengers were switched to another train and led to escape routes located at Limmo.
It appeared the test ran smoothly and follows two previous exercises; one last week with a thousand passengers and another the week before with 450.

Limmo Peninsula will eventually see 1,500 new homes having been a major Crossrail worksite over the past decade.
The development will continue the rapid changes seen around Canning Town station as high density blocks are constructed in a number of sites.

I recently took a look at changes in Canning Town which can be seen here.
As a private renter with a young family, the cost of living is extremely high.
Support me and the site via Paypal here which allows me to focus time on researching and writing posts alongside taking photographs to document changes. Adverts are far from enough to cover living costs.
