PUBLIC TRANSPORT FACILITIES PROJECT REPORT


ABOVE


The analogy of a ‘silver manta ray’ becomes clear when the building is viewed only slightly from above


the existing network. In 2008 it appointed architects Fereday Pollard and engineering consultants Halcrow (now CH2M), to carry out feasibility studies for Abbey Wood station. In 2010 a design and build contract was awarded to the architects, main contractor Balfour Beatty and consultants WSP (previously WSP | PB) as part of a £130m scheme.


Two-level building


The project required the demolition and redevelopment of the existing 1987-built station, building a temporary replacement and changes to track layout that signifi- cantly influenced the new station’s design. This included realigning the North Kent Line for existing ‘through’ services run by Southeastern and laying two terminating Elizabeth Line tracks running west to the new tunnel at Plumstead a mile away. Working closely with Network Rail, Crossrail’s own urban realm integration team and local stakeholders, the architects designed a two-level building to meet both operational and community needs. On the upper level, the spacious open-air, pedestrianised forecourt is merged with the adjacent, heavily modified bridge and associated bus services. The forecourt leads into the wide, gently arched, east-facing

main entrance giving access to the upper concourse and ticket hall, as well as dedicated retail areas, public toilets, staff accommodation and operational areas. Lifts and escalators take passengers down to two new, wide platforms featuring glazed ‘gullwing’ canopies, and a pair of platform footbridges with escalators to assist with interchanging. Attractive, curvilinear timbers support the roofing, forming a distinctive design element across the upper level and stairways.


At the lower level a second entrance into another smaller ticket hall and ticket barri- ers, is situated on the north side (Felixstowe Road). The southern side of the station (Wilton Road) features a number of small, street-facing retail units and parking while taxi ranks and drop-off points are accessi- ble from both roads.
