Class 345 unit with an Elizabeth Line train from Paddington to Abbey Wood just emerged from the new tunnel from Paddington and arriving at Custom House, on the site of the former North Woolwich branch station, on the First Day of Service, Tuesday, 24th May 2022. From here, the Elizabeth Line utilises the North Woolwich alignment, including the Connaught Tunnel, until just short of the former terminus before descending into newly-built tunnels underneath the Thames, surfacing again just to the west of Abbey Wood.
