View from class 345 unit on an Elizabeth Line service from Paddington to Abbey Wood, now on the alignment of the former North Woolwich line, just emerged from the revived Connaught Tunnel and passing the site of Silvertown station, on the First Day of Service, Tuesday, 24th May 2022. The new line utilises the old North Woolwich line from Custom House to just west of the old North Woolwich terminus where it descends into new tunnels to pass beneath the Thames to Woolwich and Abbey Wood. Despite industry and new housing here in Silvertown, no Elizabeth Line station has been provided but nearby is London City Airport station on the DLR's Woolwich Arsenal branch.
