Crossrail - loading level effects on other services.

[jhy44]

Crossrail has now been open for a few weeks; for those who commute on other tube/DLR/rail lines in the areas that Crossrail serves; what effects have you noticed yet, if any?

Are the Central and Jubilee lines now less busy?
Are the SouthEastern trains on the Greenwich line now less busy?
Are the former TfL rail services in East/West now more busy?
Are people noticing some unforeseen changes in loadings (either way)?

Would be interesting to hear what people are observing going on!

The H&C and Circle Line from Liverpool Street over to Paddington is a little bit quieter as would be expected.

Bakerloo is a lot less busy I got s seat on one three days ago during peak and with disruption due to power supply. Issues.

One thing I have noticed is there is now a lot of confused tourists who will argue that the tfl rail to terminal 5 doesn't serve terminals 2 and 3 and some have missed their service doing this. Happened three times in the last week while travelling to work

Whitechapel Overground appeared busier yesterday, with many (myself included) coming from Crossrail. Canada Water looks to be about the same - I was hoping the interchange would quiet down a bit, though this might happen once Southern goes back to 4tph on the Sydenham corridor. I've noticed a difference on the Jubilee (off peak), in fact last week, for the first time ever, I wasn't able to board the first train that arrived at Canada Water.

That sounds like you have noticed a difference! Was this eastbound or westbound?

Might be because of this mistake on this size of map. I wonder where these are/were distributed.

Is it still the case that Heathrow Express provides free transit between Terminals 2&3 and Terminal 5?

Yes although now you have to touch in and out or get a paper ticket for transfer since ticket barriers have been installed

Sorry - but what is the mistake on the map? Is the normal pattern that some Elizabeth Line trains go to T4, and others to T5; and do the T5 trains go non-stop through T2&3?

The T5 trains go through T2&3 and then branch off after. The map is wrong possibly causing the confusion mentioned above.

Wow. That might be the worst mistake to appear on a tube map evah!

Corrected

Westbound. But I have a feeling it was recovering from delays.
