Better Local Government Agenda Item No. Reference No. Better Local Government CHISWICK AREA COMMITTEE (MONITORING) 12 NOVEMBER 2003 CROSSRAIL BENCHMARK SCHEME AND OPTIONS 5 & 6 Report by: Assistant Chief Executive, Corporate Policy and Regeneration SUMMARY This report provides an update on the current status of the Crossrail project including the “Crossrail Benchmark Scheme”, and introduces LB Hounslow’s proposed alternative Options 5 and 6 for discussion. 1. RECOMMENDATION 1.1 That members note the current Crossrail Benchmark Scheme and endorse the Council’s proposal to submit Options 5 and 6 to Crossrail with a request for their evaluation against the Benchmark Scheme. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Crossrail is a proposed new rail service being developed by Cross London Rail Links Ltd (CLRLL), a 50/50 joint venture between Transport for London (TfL) and the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA). The Crossrail project comprises two proposed schemes - Crossrail Line 1 and Crossrail Line 2. 2.2 Crossrail Line 1 would be a high capacity east-west rail link across London serving Heathrow, the West End, the City and the Docklands. This proposal, now referred to as the “Crossrail Benchmark Scheme”, was formally unveiled by CLRLL in a Business Case Summary launch on 8 September 2003. 2.3 The Benchmark Scheme comprises four routes sharing a new tunnel under central London from Paddington to the East End. The tunnel would carry 24 trains/hour in peak periods. The proposed routes are:- • Heathrow corridor (6 trains/hour) replacing the Heathrow Express (4 trains/hour) subject to agreement with BAA and stopping also at Hayes & Harlington and Ealing Broadway. • Richmond Kingston corridor (12 trains/hour to Richmond of which 4 would continue to Kingston), following a route from Paddington via a 5.3 km tunnel emerging in Chiswick and then replacing the District Line Richmond Branch. • Shenfield corridor (12 trains/hour) replacing much of the Great Eastern Metro service. • North Kent Line corridor (12 trains/hour to Abbey Wood of which 4 would continue to Ebbsfleet). This proposal implies that, of the 24 trains/hour using the tunnel, 6 trains/hour would run no further west than Paddington. 2.4 Crossrail Line 2 is the former Hackney-Chelsea or Northeast-Southwest Line proposal. 2.5 Subject to planning approval and funding, Crossrail Line 1 (Crossrail Benchmark Scheme) services are due to commence in 2013 at the earliest, with a start date for Crossrail Line 2 likely to be considerably later. 2.6 The Benchmark Scheme would cost £10 billion (in 2002 prices) and would be used by about 160,000 passengers in each peak period, relieving crowding on London Underground and mainline train services and providing additional transport options, all of which would be by modern, fully accessible trains each of which would have a capacity approximately equal to two Underground trains. 3. LONDON BOROUGH OF HOUNSLOW INVOLVEMENT 3.1 On 5 February 2003, LB Hounslow received an invitation to provide an initial response to a proposal by Crossrail to include a southwestern route to Norbiton via Gunnersbury, Richmond and Kingston. Up until that date there had been no indication that Crossrail would enter Hounslow Borough, with several corridors to the northwest (Aylesbury, Chesham and Watford Junction) having been under consideration since 2001/2 in addition to the proposed Heathrow route. 3.2 A submission was forwarded to Crossrail on 14 February 2003. This submission was discussed in a report to the Chiswick Area Committee on 25 June. 3.3 The Council’s submission addressed Crossrail’s two Norbiton options, as follows: Option 1: Surface Route to Norbiton • From the Great Western Main Line at Old Oak Common, a branch of Crossrail would run via the North London Line to Richmond, then via a new rail underpass onto the Kingston Loop line to Kingston and Norbiton, replacing some of the District line trains to Richmond. The Silverlink Metro North London Line service (Richmond-Stratford) would be diverted to run from Hounslow. Option 2: Tunnelled Route to Norbiton • From the Great Western Main Line at Wormwood Scrubs, a branch of Crossrail would run by a 5.3km tunnel under East Acton, surfacing immediately west of near Turnham Green station, then replacing the District Line branch to Richmond, and extending through to Norbiton as above. 3.4 Hounslow’s submission welcomed the possibility of Crossrail serving the Borough but cautioned that both Options 1 and 2 involved significant local problems:- • Option 1 had poor interchange facilities and major problems with level crossings, particularly at Bollo Lane. • Option 2 would provide a better level of service but at the expense of part of Chiswick Back Common. • Both options would result in changes to other services - some of which might be unacceptable. 3.5 The Council’s submission proposed that consideration be given to a further two options:- Option 3: Surface Route to Hounslow/Feltham • Crossrail would run via the North London Line to South Acton then via the freight spur to join the Hounslow Loop line to Hounslow and Feltham. Option 4: Tunnelled Route to Hounslow/Feltham • The Crossrail tunnel would be extended an additional 1.5 km (approx) to Chiswick Business Park where trains would emerge to join the freight spur to run through to Hounslow and Feltham as in Option 3. 3.6 The Council’s submission proposed that consideration be given under Options 1, 3 and 4 to the possibility of an interchange station at the back of Chiswick Business Park, allowing passengers to transfer between Crossrail, Piccadilly Line, District Line and North London Line services. The concept of an interchange at this site (but without Crossrail) had been considered during the early stages of planning of the Business Park development but was abandoned apparently because of London Underground’s refusal to consider stopping Piccadilly Line services at any additional locations. Depending on the option, this new interchange would probably be accompanied by the closure of South Acton and/or the existing Chiswick Park stations. 3.7 Under Option 2, the Council suggested a new shallow underground station for Crossrail at Turnham Green instead of the new Chiswick Park station proposed by Crossrail. The new Turnham Green Crossrail station was also proposed under Option 4 in addition to the Chiswick Business Park interchange. In both cases, the Council suggested that Piccadilly Line services should also stop at this station. 3.8 The Council’s submission argued that serious consideration should be given to the possibility of a Crossrail corridor serving the Hounslow Loop line to Hounslow and Feltham, as there would be significant time savings and considerable potential demand when compared with proposed services to Richmond and Kingston. Option 4, although likely to be the most expensive, was put forward as the Council’s preference as it would provide a greater level of service to Hounslow Borough without the problems of level crossings inherent in Option 3. 4.0 THE CURRENT SITUATION 4.1 The launch of the Crossrail Business Case Summary on 8 September 2003 confirmed that CLRLL had adopted the southwestern corridor (previously to Norbiton, now to Richmond/Kingston) into the Benchmark Scheme at the expense of northeastern options (Aylesbury etc). 4.2 Although more expensive than the surface option, CLRLL has adopted the tunnelled option for pricing purposes, in an apparent recognition of the practical and operational problems inherent in the surface (North London Line) option. 4.3 Subsequent to September’s launch, CLRLL has confirmed that it is planning a cut-and-cover Crossrail station near Turnham Green Underground station, and has abandoned the new Chiswick Park station (to be located behind Sainsbury’s) as proposed in Option 2. 4.4 CLRLL does not appear to have given detailed consideration to Council’s proposed Options 3 and 4 routes to Hounslow and Feltham. 4.5 Crossrail stations within the London Borough of Hounslow would therefore be limited to Turnham Green and Gunnersbury. The Turnham Green Crossrail station would be located in close proximity to the existing Turnham Green station, with the various platforms linked by stairways, ramps and/or lifts to provide convenient access between train services and to Turnham Green Terrace. Crossrail will support the case for Piccadilly Line services to stop at Turnham Green. At Gunnersbury, the station would need to be substantially upgraded. 4.6 From the new Turnham Green station, the Crossrail tunnel would continue as a cut-and-cover construction under the back of Chiswick Common, with the portal located immediately west of Fishers Lane. The Crossrail tracks would then link into the District Line tracks through to Richmond, replacing District Line Richmond Branch services. Silverlink North London Line services would be unaffected. 4.7 The realisation that Crossrail’s Richmond/Kingston services would be at the expense of the District Line Richmond Branch has provoked opposition from the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, In Chiswick, there is also concern about the loss of District Line services at Gunnersbury station. 4.8 CLRLL distributed a preliminary scheme brochure at Turnham Green and Gunnersbury stations in September and has recently released a newer brochure that shows the benchmark scheme in outline form and advertises public information centres to be established at local venues, including one at Sainsbury’s in Essex Place, Chiswick, 2-8pm on Friday 28 November and 10am-6pm on Saturday 29 November. 5.0 COMMENT 5.1 Crossrail would bring major transport benefits to Chiswick. Services on a five minute peak-hour frequency would run non-stop from Turnham Green to Paddington, then under central London via Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Whitechapel and points east. The new Turnham Green Crossrail station is likely to be the catalyst for Piccadilly Line services to also stop there, raising the profile of Turnham Green as a major inner London station and interchange.

Chiswick Park station – Gunnersbury Triangle Nature Reserve – Footbridge – Chiswick Business Park – Gunnersbury station – Chiswick Village – Strand on the Green – Recreation Ground – Russian Orthodox Church - Gunnersbury station – Chiswick Park station. Route: Leisurely; mainly quiet roads and old paths; path by the Thames. Local amenities: shops, cafes and pubs in Chiswick and at Kew Bridge. Toilets in Sainsbury’s just of start of walk. Points of interest: nature reserve; new footbridge (work scheduled to start August 2018); Chiswick Business Park; Russian Orthodox Church; Kew Bridge; Strand on the Green. Transport: Chiswick Park station (District Line); Gunnersbury station (District Line/Overground); Local buses. Start the walk from Chiswick Park station. Leave the station and cross Bollo Lane to go right to Gunnersbury Triangle nature reserve -This wet woodland nature reserve was saved from development in the early 1980s. A pleasant path meanders around the reserve. The reserve is normally open. Return to the entrance and go left along Bollo Lane – a pedestrian footbridge is planned for people using Chiswick Park station and going to Chiswick Business Park. It will then not be necessary to walk along Bollo Lane to the level crosssing. However, at present you need to go under the railway bridge, passing an attractive pub, and on as far as a level crossing. Just after turn left along a road to go under another railway bridge and into Chiswick Business Park. Walk a short way along the road and just past a bus stop look for a path on the right between large office buildings.

As a non-driver I have been using public transport all my life and know first-hand its strengths and challenges. Ealing is currently facing some major transportation challenges with the progress of Crossrail/Elizabeth Line, possible third runway for Heathrow, HS2 and the huge restructuring of our healthcare. We envisaged looking at our borough's transport connectivity taking these current projects into consideration, with a view to identifying the gaps where provision is limited to find solutions for the residents living there. It is particularly important to have good inter- borough connections with our neighbouring boroughs such as Brent, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon and Hounslow as we will now be expected to access many services such as healthcare provision over the whole North West London area. Connectivity within our borough is key to economic prosperity ensuring people are able to move around our borough with reliable transportation to get to and from work and places of education as well as access our parks and leisure facilities. Health strategies are increasingly focused on prevention and better ageing for our population.

Do not stop in the Advanced Stop Box. It must be left clear for cyclists. 3. Remember to watch out for motorcyclists, who can now use certain bus lanes. 4. Watch out for pedestrians and keep your speed low. Use dipped headlights, especially in contra-flow bus lanes and central areas, such as Oxford Street or Piccadilly. Your company may ask you to use dipped headlights at all times. 5. At road junctions, be aware of other large vehicles such as lorries. Like buses, they need a wide area to turn. 6. Remember, taxis can use bus lanes so be prepared to stop if they are picking up or setting down passengers.

    Crossrail 1 Corridor 6 (Richmond/Kingston/Norbiton) Proposal Response by London Borough of Hounslow February 2003 Crossrail 1 Corridor 6 (Richmond/Kingston/Norbiton) Proposal: Response by London Borough of Hounslow February 2003 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Context This submission constitutes the London Borough of Hounslow’s response to an invitation to provide initial comments on the Crossrail project’s proposal for a new corridor for Crossrail 1: Corridor 6 – Norbiton, via Old Oak Common, Acton, Chiswick, Richmond and Kingston. The submission considers the proposal in terms of service and amenity for the borough’s residents and businesses, and within the context of the Council’s published policies. In addition to the two options that constitute the Corridor 6 proposals, this submission provides two further options for Crossrail’s consideration. While the Council must record its disappointment that an effective period of less than two weeks was offered for preparation of this submission, the Council also wishes to record its appreciation for the assistance given by the Crossrail consultation team during the preparation of the submission. 1.2 Council Policies The London Borough of Hounslow Unitary Development Plan’s objectives relating to transport and land use development are summarised below: • To promote sustainable transport modes (walking, cycling, public and waterborne transport) which improves access for all members of the community and enhances public transport provision in London as a whole, while reducing car traffic and the demand for road space. • To encourage a pattern of land use, and provision of transport which minimises harm to the environment and reduces the need to travel, especially by car, whilst maximising development opportunities in the Borough.
