The new Elizabeth line provides a quicker and more direct travel routes across London, reducing journey times and creating new transport links. Up to 12 trains an hour will allow residents to travel to Canary Wharf in just eight minutes, Liverpool Street in 17 minutes, Bond Street in 22 minutes and Heathrow in 55 minutes.

This incredibly rapid new transport system has made living and working in Woolwich even more attractive.

Around 200 million passengers travel on the Elizabeth line each year so the new stations need to cope with large numbers of passengers, be easy to navigate, accessible for everyone and able to endure wear and tear.

The new stations each have their own, distinct character, which reflect the environment and heritage of the local area.

Woolwich is one of only two stations south of the Thames on the route, the other being Abbey Wood.
