The locations of these proposed new stations were consulted on back in 2014, in the early days of plans for Old Oak.\u00a0 The stations are intended to provide an interchange for passengers between the HS2\/Queen Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) station at Old Oak Common and the London Overground network.<\/p>\n
This interchange will be less than ideal, as neither Overground station will be adjacent to the main station (the Hythe Road station will involve a 700m walk between the two).\u00a0 The business case for each station is still being developed and there is as yet no certainty on sources of funding.<\/p>\n
The proposals for the Old Oak Common Lane station are not going down well with residents in the immediate vicinity.\u00a0 The ‘visualisations’ suggest a 4 storey office block at the top of Midland Terrace and an elevated pedestrian\/cycle bridge across to Victoria Road.\u00a0 The impact on neighbouring houses would be huge.<\/p>\n The preferred option for a Hythe Road station involves\u00a0a new station and railway viaduct to the north of the existing embankment. The existing embankment would be removed, opening up access between the north and southern parts of Cargiant’s 43 acres – destined to become ‘Old Oak Park’ with 6,500 new homes.<\/p>\n The Old Oak Interim Neighbourhood Forum will be submitting a response to the consultation.\u00a0 Please email oonforum@gmail.com<\/a> if you would like your views reflected in the Forum’s response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Transport for London (TfL) are holding a public consultation on proposals for two new Overground stations at Old Oak.\u00a0 The consultation is a short one, lasting from 16th October to 17th November 2017.
