Accessible Train stations in London - Gidea Park, Elizabeth line
All the London railway stations :
I visited Gidea Park station in November 2021, and February 2023. The station is now accessible by lifts. Step-free from platform to street.
Gidea Park is on the new Accessible Elizabeth line.
Trains run every ten minutes towards London, and end at Paddington, rather than stopping at the original Liverpool street station terminus, they are now redirected via Whitechapel through the new Liverpool street (Elizabeth line) statin which is in a very long tunnel, and involves a lot of walking to exit this station or change lines.
You can change trains along the Elizabeth line to travel as far as Heathrow (or Reading). On the London section of the Elizabeth line between Whitechapel and Paddington, there are trains running every five minutes with alternate services starting from either Shenfield or Abbey Wood; these are on the same platform.
The new Elizabeth line trains have a massive gap between the platform and the train of at least fifteen inches, and ramps are available on request.
The Lifts in the station are at the London end of the trains.
See timetables at TFL for accurate details.
There are standard toilets at the station on platform 3 only.
