Noticed a new passageway between north and south bound platforms at Bond St today, at the extreme north end of the platforms. Albeit in a very unfinished state.
Wonder whether this is connected with the Crossrail development?

Yes, thanks!
Very surprised to see that the new passageways are as narrow as existing ones, and the lifts are quite tiny.

Is this cross passageway new or was it previously there but not for public access? Half way along the passage it is crossed by a bigger passage that runs parallel to the platforms. Access into this bigger passage is closed off by mesh in both directions. The circular tunnel segments in this bigger passage have the date 1972 cast on them.
I noticed that the next cross passageway further south along the platforms is currently closed off by blue hoardings.

The cross passageway has always been there and was in public use. The passage heading off north parallel to the platform has been aswell, but that wasn't a public area.
The passage coming in from the south will be the new corridor built as part of the upgrade works for access to the jubilee line to/from the surface.
