Part of the Crossrail network, Woolwich Station will take passengers to Canary Wharf in eight minutes, to Liverpool Street in 14 and to the shops of Bond Street in a speedy 22 minutes (knocking 13 minutes of the previous journey time) when it opens in December 2018. A train every two and a half minutes at peak time will run in each direction terminating at Paddington in the west and Abbey Wood in the east. When the route fully opens in December 2019, passengers will be able to catch Elizabeth line services from Woolwich to Heathrow and Reading in the west and Abbey Wood and Shenfield in the east. Although essentially a 276 metre-long box, the bronze clad station entrance opens out onto Dial Arch Square, a green space, flanked with a series of Grade I and II listed buildings.
