Noureddine Are buses in Whitechapel???
Staff There are buses, yes - content.tfl.gov.uk/bus-route-maps/whitechapel-a4-010522.pdf
John How easy to change from Elizabeth Line to Overground or District Line with luggages ?
Staff Hi John. Its not a long way, but you will have to use a couple of flights of stairs
John Are there any lifts or escalators (rather than stairs) to change from Elizabeth Line to Overground or District Line because I will be travelling with luggages ? By reference to the London Underground Map, I thought Whitechapel station is "step-free" access.
Staff Sorry John, that was our mistake. That was from the original entrance. The newly built entrance has lifts to the District and London Overground platforms, and escalators to the Elizabeth line platforms
John Thanks for the clarification. How about to change platforms (from Elizabeth Line to Overground or District Line) ? Are there any lifts and/or escalators (rather than stairs) ?
