Crossrail has submitted plans to the London Borough of Redbridge to improve Goodmayes station. The proposals include three new lifts to provide step-free access to all platforms; platform extensions to allow the station to accommodate the new Crossrail trains (which are 200m long); and new platform lighting.

The improvements will be delivered by Network Rail.

Crossrail has also been working with Redbridge Council on proposals for improvements to the area surrounding the station.
