Elizabeth Line expected timetable

[Ticket Man]

Evenin all.

Sorry if this has already been asked before but I'm struggling to find out any info about this.
I know timetables are not published yet but are there any insiders that might have an inkling of first and last trains that will run from Abbey Wood?

Nothing made public yet but it will probably be somewhere around 0430 or 0500 for first train and after 0000 for last train.

The outer sections as TfL Rail currently start at 0442 (west side) and 0444 (East Side) respectively, so once integration comes into place there should be an expectation that by the time the first train from Shenfield must be able to connect with another train at Liverpool Street going to Paddington - somewhere around 0530. However if you take it further, there is probably an expectation that the first train to Paddington itself from at the very least Whitechapel would aim to meet most likely the second train if not the first out to Heathrow from Paddington and so would probably aim to get there at 0450?

Obviously just well educated guesses here, nothing official but think about existing services, connections and demand.

Is there any update on when we can expect the extension to Gravesend?

Not at all. There’s a safeguarded route for planning purposes, that is the only thing confirmed.

Currently being pushed back a bit due to the cost overrun of the Elizabeth line eating into the funds meant for Crossrail 2, Crossrail 1 extension to Gravesend and a few other projects such as the Sutton tram link.
