OLD OAK COMMON SUPER-HUB GETS THE GO AHEAD

Old Oak Common and Park Royal Development Corporation have give the green light for the plans to build the UK’s largest station at an estimated cost of £ 1.3 billion.

The HS2 development site between East Acton and Willesden junction is expected to be used by 250,000 passengers each day once it is up and running. It will also be a connecting hub for the Elizabeth line , Heathrow Express and trains to Wales and the West of England.

New public spaces will be created including a square outside the station. It is also hoped that the project will also transform the wider area of a former railway and industrial site to create a neighbourhood with thousands of jobs and homes.

Work on this site is expected to begin in the next month.
