The new Whitechapel Crossrail station will use the
existing Whitechapel Road entrance to the Whitechapel London
Underground and London Overground station.
The Crossrail platforms will be in deep tunnels to the north of
the existing station but they will all share a concourse, ticket hall,
gateline and station operations room, leading to a fully integrated
station that provides an easy step-free interchange between the
Crossrail, Hammersmith and City, District and Overground lines.
At peak times there will be 24 Crossrail trains per hour in each
direction – in addition to the existing London Underground and London
Overground services. This will not only ease overcrowding on the
existing services but also support the economic growth in the
surrounding area, as Whitechapel will become an important interchange
due to its position at the eastern extremity of the central section of
the Crossrail route. Journey times to Heathrow Airport will be only 39
minutes, whilst Whitechapel to Canary Wharf will be reduced to just 3
minutes.
