The station is currently served by First Grear Western and Heathrow Connect services from London Paddington to stations to the west of London (Banbury, Oxford and Reading), to Greenford and to Heathrow Airport. The staion is also served by London Underground services by the lines. The existing station is accessed via steps from The Broadway which provide access to the station concourse level and then further steps to the platform level. The application seeks approval of plans and specifications, reference number EAL/12/2/NR, under Schedule 7 of the Crossrail Act 2008, for permanent works at the site to facilitate the use of the site for Crossrail services. The permanent works covered by this submission comprise: Modifications to the station to provide a new canopy to the forecourt area and a new facade treatment to the main entrance and remodelled concourse; New lift shafts for the mezzanine level and platforms 1, 2/3 and 4; Remodelled staircases to serve platforms 1 and 2/3; New canopies for platforms 2/3 and 4; New waiting room and control building on platform 2/3; New waiting shelter on platform 4; New footbridge at the eastern end of the platforms; and Extensions to platforms 1, 2/3 and 4. The Crossrail Act grants permission for the development, subject to the Council approving details of: 1/. The erection, construction, alteration or extension of any building or road vehicle park; the construction, alteration or extension of any terracing, cuttings, embankments or other earth works; the erection, construction, alteration or extension of any fences, walls or other barriers for visual or noise screening or dust suppression; 2/. The erection, construction, alteration or extension of any transformers, telecommunications masts or pedestrian accesses to railway lines; 3/. The erection, construction, alteration or extension of any fences or walls; 4/. The erection construction or installation of lighting equipment; 5/. The disposal of waste or spoil; and 6/. The excavation of bulk materias from borrow pits. The plans and specifications submitted relate to construction works for the existing and new buildings, the erection or alteration of fences and the installation of lighting equipment. In determining the application the Council is required to be satisfied that the design and external appearance of the works preserves the local environment or local amenity; would prevent or reduce prejudicial effects on road safety or on the free flow of traffic in the local area; and, would preserve any sites of historic interest. Page 2 of 29 Planning Committee 13/08/2014 Schedule Item: 03 The design and external appearance of the development has been amended since the original submission in November 2013 and now incorporates a more extensive canopy to the station forecourt area. The main issues for consideration are whether the design and external appearance of the development preserve the local environment and local amenity and whether they would preserve the character of heritage assets in the vicinity of the site, namely Ealing Town Centre and Haven Green Conservation Areas, the statutory listed buildings at 38 Haven Green and 1 The Mall (the NatWest Bank) and the locally listed buildings in the vicinity. A number of representations have been received in respect of the initial submissions raising concerns about the design of the development and with regard to operational and accessibility issues. However, apart from design issues, including the materials to be used externally, the Council has no remit to consider other issues relating to the operation of the facility. The design of the proposal has subsequently been amended, following extensive and detailed discussions with Council officers. A second round of public consultation was undertaken, which resulted in the receipt of two responses from local residents and two responses from amenity societies. The proposal is now considered to be appropriate, subject to the submission of further detailed information about the materials to be used for the public interface of the built development. The plans and specifications are now recommended for approval as the development of the Crossrail facility at Ealing Broadway is an integral part of London’s strategic transport proposals and the capital’s top priority for ensuring the delivery of the strategic objectives laid down in the development plan for the area. The amended design is considered to provide for a high quality development that would complement the character of the surrounding area and would provide a modified station building with greatly improved accessibility to accommodate future demand for the use of the station as Ealing Broadway becomes part of the Crossrail network. The appearance of the building would improve the general appearance of the area and provide a legible, accessible development with appropriate facilities and the capacity to handle the new 10-car, and in future 12-car, Crossrail trains. Recommendation: APPROVE with Conditions under Schedule 7 of the Crossrail Act 2008 Conditions/Reasons: 1. Time Limit 3 years - Full Permission The development permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. REASON: In order to comply with the provisions of the Crossrail Act 2008. 2. Approved Plans The development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with drawing title number(s) WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000050 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000051A Rev P01, WSN1C- EAR-DRG-BEN-000052, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000053A Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN- 000055 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000056A Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000057 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000058 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000059, WSN1C- EAR-DRG-BEN-000060 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000061 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG- Page 3 of 29 Planning Committee 13/08/2014 Schedule Item: 03 BEN-000062 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000064 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN- 000065 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000066 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000067 Rev P01, WSN1C-EAR-DRG-BEN-000068 Rev P01, WSN1B-ALL-DRG-AEA-000069, WSN1B-ALL- DRG-AEA-000071, WSN1B-ALL-DRG-AEA-000074, WSN1B-ALL-DRG-AEA-000075, WSN1B- ALL-DRG-AEA-000076, WSN1B-ALL-DRG-AEA-000078 and WSN1B-CNS-PLD-NCA-000011 Rev A01 unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. REASON: For the avoidance of doubt, and in the interests of proper planning. 3. Samples of Materials Samples of the materials to be used for the external surfaces of the development, including the louvres and brickwork, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before any part of the development is commenced, and this condition shall apply notwithstanding any indications as to these matters which have been given in this application. Development shall be carried out in accordance with these approved details. REASON: To ensure that the materials harmonise with the surroundings and that the external appearance of the works preserve the local environment, local amenity and sites of historic interest, in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 7.5(2) of the Crossrail Act 2008. Informatives 1. No work should be carried out on the development site that may endanger the safe operation of the railway or the stability of Network Rail's structures and adjoining land. In particular, the demolition of buildings or other structures must be carried out in accordance with an agreed method statement. Care must be taken to ensure that no debris or other materials can fall onto Network Rail land. In view of the close proximity of these proposed works to the railway boundary the developer should contact Richard Selwood at Network Rail on [email protected] before work begins. Background Information: The Crossrail Act 2008 provides powers for the construction and operation of Crossrail. Schedule 1 to the Act describes the ‘scheduled works’ and Schedule 2 describes the associated works that the nominated undertaker will be authorised to carry out.

Preface Preface The purpose of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) investigation is to improve railway safety by preventing future railway accidents or by mitigating their consequences. It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The RAIB’s findings are based on its own evaluation of the evidence that was available at the time of the investigation and are intended to explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner.

  • TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (Optional Extension to Ealing Broadway)

    TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (Optional Extension to Ealing Broadway)

    TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (optional extension to Ealing Broadway). Distance: 8.4 km (5.4 miles). Public Transport: Section 4 starts at Acton Town Underground Station (District and Piccadilly lines), finishing at Boston Manor Underground Station (Piccadilly Line). There is an optional exit en route at Brentford Station or an optional 3.7 km (2.3 miles) extension from Boston Manor to Ealing Broadway Station (using part of the TREC Section 1 route). Surface and Terrain: The first half of the route is along level paths, including through parks: Gunnersbury and Carville Hall Park South; however the section along the Thames Path and the River Brent/Grand Union Canal Walk does involve some steps (an alternative route avoiding the steps is suggested); the route eventually reaches Boston Manor Park and Station. Refreshments: Acton Town Station; Gunnersbury Park Café; Brentford High Street (near Brentford Lock); Boston Manor Park Café (seasonal), Boston Manor Station and shops nearby. Covid-19 restrictions: Check availability of refreshments and toilets before your walk. Public Toilets: Acton Town Station (charge); Gunnersbury Park; Boston Manor Park Café (seasonal). The route starts from south-west Acton, one of the seven towns of the London Borough of Ealing, Acton means "oak farm" or "farm by oak trees". This final section of TREC does stray into the north east of the London Borough of Hounslow going through parts of old Brentford, however as this was historically part of the Parish of Ealing when it did extend to the River Thames we think it’s appropriate to include in TREC.

More information about campaigns is available on the Railfuture national website. Branch meeting at Taunton, 8 July 2017 The next Severnside branch meeting is on Saturday 8 July at 2 pm in Kilkenny Court, 25 Kilkenny Avenue, Taunton TA2 7QL. The venue is very close to Taunton station and there is a paying car park nearby. Our guest speaker is Gideon Amos, who worked on planning the upgrade of the Felixstowe line in Suffolk. The line carries heavy container traffic and there have been concerns about resolving the aspirations to accommodate more passenger and freight trains. Closer to home, there is a similar dilemma with the Henbury loop. If coming to the meeting by train, leave Taunton station by the main exit (near the stairs from Platform 5) and turn immediately right alongside the station exterior. Walk up the slope and turn left, passing the GWR Staff Association Club. Then turn right into Kilkenny Court, which is a Victorian terrace of sheltered housing. Other forthcoming meetings and events The Minehead Rail Link Group (MRLG) meets on Thursday 15 June 2017, 7 for 7.30 pm at Marston Lodge Hotel, St. Michael’s Road, Minehead.

    January 2020 Welcome to the Rail User Express. RUX is published around the middle of each month. It may be forwarded, or items reproduced in another newsletter (quoting sources). Anyone may request RUX as an email attachment, or opt to be notified when it is posted on the Railfuture (Rf) website. There is no charge for either service. Following GDPR, Railfuture Membership now maintains both lists. Please advise if you no longer wish to receive the newsletter or link, or if you know of anyone who would like to be added. For further details of any of the stories mentioned, please consult the relevant website, or ask the editor for the source material. Janus like, Rf looks both forward and back.
