Abbey Wood drivers’ accomodation

Abbey Wood gets brand new drivers’ accommodation

Yesterday was a sunny and special day for the Elizabeth line as we celebrated the opening of our brand-new drivers’ accommodation at Abbey Wood!

This facility represents a step-change in the quality for our drivers, offering a modern, comfortable space where they can sign-on, take breaks and be in close proximity to the train service. By consolidating accommodation in this key location, we’re not just supporting our teams but also strengthening the resilience of our service.

Abbey Wood plays a critical role during times of disruption, helping us recover and restore services across the network. With this new facility, we’re better equipped to keep trains running smoothly by having drivers located close by and ready to respond when needed.

Additionally, the opening of the new accommodation has freed up valuable space at Abbey Wood for our station and cleaning staff, enabling them to work more efficiently further improving the customer experience.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in this project and to all who showed patience during the construction.

Here’s to supporting our teams and continuing to invest in the future of the Elizabeth line!
