I assume, although I could be wrong, that the extensions are limited by what can be done with the stations that are underground. Without boring new tunnels, how can you make the platforms at, say, Canada Water, longer by 2, 3 or 4 carriages?


There have been some platform extensions to the core of the ELL. Some stations such as Surrey Quays and Shoreditch High Street will open all the doors on all 5 carriages, where as Canada Water has had work done, so that most of the doors will open but not on all of the 5th carriage.

Whitechapel will get it's platform extension as part of the Crossrail works. Until then, the 5th carriage doors won't open.
