The new circulating area at the Underground platforms at Whitechapel, looking east, on 27th August 2021. Originally two narrow island platforms, served by District and Hammersmith & City Line trains, a new single wide island platform has been created by linking the far outer edges of each over the site of the two lifted tracks that previously ran through the centre. These changes, recently revealed after being stuck behind hoardings for a long time, are in connection with Whitechapel's forthcoming role as an interchange with Crossrail, now due to open in spring 2022.
