The nearer piledrivers and cranes are where the Crossrail tracks will come out of tunnel for the last time before reaching the terminus of the south branch at Abbey Wood. The viewpoint is on the Church Manorway footbridge, which will be reconstructed to allow four tracks on a widened present railway alignment. The two inner tracks will be Crossrail, so the current North Kent down track (the right-hand one) will be swung over to pass to the right of the emerging new tracks and so avoid a flat junction.
