This report details the results of a public consultation conducted between 16 October and 22 November 2017 on two potential new London Overground stations at Old Oak. ii. The consultation focussed on capturing views on proposals for two new London Overground stations at Old Oak, sited at Hythe Road and Old Oak Common Lane and followed on from an earlier public consultation on possible station location options that was carried out in autumn 2014. Support for proposals iii. We received 911 responses to the consultation, 865 of which were received through the consultation website and provided a quantified opinion on the proposals. iv. Of these 865 respondents, 94% supported or strongly supported our proposals for two new London Overground stations at Old Oak. v. 86% supported or strongly supported the proposals for a new station at Hythe Road, and 92% supported or strongly supported the proposals for a new station at Old Oak Common Lane. Additionally, 88% supported the construction of a bridge linking Victoria Road to the station at Old Oak Common Lane. Summary of issues raised during consultation vi. We also asked respondents to provide comments on the proposals. The main themes are highlighted below, with a detailed analysis provided in chapter 4: A new London Overground station and viaduct at Hythe Road Passenger interchange between Hythe Road and HS2/Elizabeth Line services Regeneration of the Old Oak Area Improved public transport connections for Old Oak A new London Overground station at Old Oak Common Lane A proposed link bridge connecting Old Oak Common Lane and Victoria Road Potentially negative impacts of the proposals for local residents Passenger interchange between Old Oak Common Lane and HS2/Elizabeth line services 3 Further, general comments on two new London Overground stations at Old Oak Regeneration of the Old Oak Area Improved public transport connections for Old Oak Passenger interchange between London Overground and HS2/Elizabeth Line services Next steps vii. We are now reviewing comments made during the consultation. We will publish our response to issues raised document during spring 2018. viii. We will also provide an update as to any proposed changes to the stations as a result of the consultation when we publish our response to issues raised document. 4 1. About the proposals 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 Old Oak and Park Royal is one of London’s largest Opportunity Areas and one of the largest development sites in the country, with the ambition to deliver a whole new centre and community for west London which includes 25,500 new homes and 65,000 jobs. 1.1.2 Old Oak is the only place where High Speed 2 (HS2), the new high speed railway between London, the Midlands and the North, meets the Elizabeth line, London’s new East-West railway. A new station at Old Oak Common will open in 2026, providing both connections to the Elizabeth line, HS2 and National Rail services and a hub for regeneration. 1.1.3 In 2014 we consulted on the idea of providing further transport connections to the London Overground network at Old Oak with three options proposed. Over 83 per cent of respondents either supported or strongly supported this idea. There was also a clear preference for Option C which suggested two new London Overground stations; one at Hythe Road on the West London line and one at Old Oak Common Lane on the North London line. A Figure 1 - Potential locations of new London map showing the potential Overground stations location of the stations at Hythe Road and Old Oak Common Lane is shown in Figure 1. 1.1.4 Following on from the 2014 consultation, working closely with Network Rail and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC), and co-funded by the European Commission, we have undertaken work to develop an initial design for the potential stations at Hythe Road and Old Oak Common Lane. 1.1.5 In 2016 the Mayor of London carried out a review of the overall direction and work programme of the OPDC. The review recommended that additional work should be undertaken to support the case for the potential London Overground stations at Old Oak. 5 1.2 Purpose 1.2.1 From 2026 HS2, the Elizabeth line and National Rail services are expected to call at a new Old Oak Common station and the area will benefit from excellent east – west rail connections, including to central London and Heathrow Airport. 1.2.2 Passengers wishing to travel by rail to Old Oak from the north or south would need to go by London Overground to Willesden Junction. Although Willesden Junction station is 1.5km away from the new Old Oak Common Station, there is no convenient link between the stations which would make it difficult for passengers to interchange between HS2, Elizabeth line or London Overground services. 1.2.3 Providing good public transport connectivity at Old Oak would also support the regeneration proposed in the OPDC’s draft Local Plan (2017), the Old Oak and Park Royal Opportunity Area Planning Framework (2015) and the Mayor’s London Plan (2016). 1.2.4 Following on from the 2014 consultation, and supported with funding from the European Commission, we have worked up an initial design for both stations. Working closely with Network Rail and OPDC the designs have developed, leading to a single preferred option for each station. We have also worked closely with OPDC to ensure these designs would integrate with the proposals set out in its draft Local Plan. 1.3 Detailed description Hythe Road station 1.3.1 Hythe Road station would be situated on the West London line about 700 metres from the Old Oak Common station and in one of the largest development sites within the OPDC area. This development site is owned by the company Car Giant and known as Old Oak Park. Car Giant, supported by the property development company London and Regional, is independently proposing a large-scale redevelopment of its land. A map showing the potentail location of Hythe Road station is shown in Figure 2. What options have been considered? • 1A - a new London Overground station on the existing railway embankment, including embankment widening where required Figure 2 - potential location of Hythe Road station 6 • 1B - a new station and railway viaduct to the north of the existing embankment. This option would mean the removal of the existing embankment • 1C - a new station and railway viaduct to the south of the existing embankment. This option would also mean the removal of the embankment 1.3.2 Option 1B was presented as the preferred option as it provides greater opportunity for regeneration and the creation of new spaces that support the wider development. In addition, this option reduces the severance caused by the embankment, making it easier for people to move around the area. Information was presented at the public exhibitions to give more detail about our optioneering work. A copy of the work is online and hard copies were available at the three public events. 1.4 Detailed description of Old Oak Common Lane station 1.4.1 Old Oak Common Lane station would be situated about 350 metres to the west of the HS2 and Elizabeth line station, sitting on the North London line between Old Oak Common Lane and Midland Terrace. This station would provide the most convenient interchange between London Overground, HS2, the Elizabeth line and National Rail services. The location of this station is constrained by other railway lines, roads and residential properties. A map showing the potentail location of Old Oak Figure 3 - Potential location of Old Oak Common Common Lane station is shown in Lane station Figure 3. 1.4.2 To the west of Old Oak Common Lane station, there is an aspiration to provide a pedestrian and cycle link, connecting Old Oak Common Lane and Victoria Road. This link would make it easier for people to move around the area as currently the patchwork of railway lines act as a barrier. While a pedestrian / cycle link crossing the railway lines is not essential for

  • Southern Railway Stations in South London
    Southern Railway stations in South London The south London area stations of Southern Region of British Railways and its constituents tend to be somewhat neglected, perhaps due to the prevalent suburban electric services, but comprised some fine examples of former company architecture. The following pictures were all taken in August 1973; a few of the sites have since disappeared, many others surely much modernised by now, and some have even been nicely restored...... First, we look at the former South Eastern Railway branch line from Purley to Caterham. Here is Kenley, whose cottage-style station house with very steep-pitched roof and gothic detailing is now a listed building, but privately owned. It dates from the construction of the Caterham Railway in 1856 and is by architect Richard Whittall. Below is Whyteleafe, (left) down side waiting room and footbridge, and the signal box and level crossing at Whyteleafe South...... The signalbox nameboard shows that the station had been re-signed with modern British Rail white enamel plates; in late 1972 I found one of the much more attractive 1950-era station nameplates for sale in an antique shop near Paddington station, for the pricely sum of £2.50p. In contrast the teminus station building at Caterham still displayed its “Southern Electric” enamelware...... Here are two more views at Caterham, with the SE&CR wooden signalbox at right...... Moving on to Anerley, this is an ex London Brighton & South Coast Railway station on its line from London Bridge to West Croydon, just to the north of Norwood Junction. At least part of the main building is thought to date from the line opening in 1839.

  • A Rail Manifesto for London
    A Rail Manifesto for London The new covered walkway linking Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations creates an interchange which provides a better connection and more journey opportunities March 2016 A Rail Manifesto for London Railfuture1 seeks to inform and influence the development of transport policies and practices nationally and locally. We offer candidates for the 2016 London Mayoral and Assembly elections this manifesto2, which represents a distillation of the electorate’s aspirations for a developing railway for London, for delivery during the next four years or to be prepared for delivery during the following period of office. Executive Summary Recognising the importance of all rail-based transport to the economy of London and to its residents, commuters and visitors alike, Railfuture wishes to see holistic and coherent rail services across all of London, integrated with all other public transport, with common fares and conditions. Achieving this is covered by the following 10 policy themes: 1. Services in London the Mayor should take over. The 2007 transfer of some National Rail services to TfL has been a huge success, transforming some of the worst services in London into some of the best performing. Railfuture believes it is right that the Mayor should take over responsibility for more rail services in London, either by transferring service operation to TfL or by TfL specifying service levels to the operator, and that this must benefit all of London. 2. Improved Services. Frequencies play an important role in the success of metro and suburban train services. We believe that the Mayor should set out the minimum standards of service levels across London seven days per week for all rail services.

  • Hsuk London Terminal Strategy
    HSUK LONDON TERMINAL STRATEGY In the development of high speed rail systems, the issue of terminal location and onward distribution of passengers assumes almost as much importance as the more obvious question of route. The new lines are designed to carry large volumes of passengers on trains operating at high frequencies, and these factors combine to create major flows arriving at city terminals which must then be efficiently dispersed onto the local public transport networks. This demands full integration of high speed and local systems, with optimised transfer at dedicated and fit-for- purpose terminals. These issues apply at all UK cities where high speed lines are planned, but are most acute in London, where passenger flows are greatest, and congestion in the existing public transport system is most critical. The following diagrams review existing central London connectivity issues, and compare and contrast the London terminal solutions proposed for HS2, and for the alternative High Speed UK proposals. For precise details of the core High Speed UK proposals (as included in the cost estimates), see the ‘200k’ series of plans. LTS1 : LONDON MAIN LINE NETWORK CIRCA 1963 LTS2 : EXISTING CENTRAL LONDON RAIL NETWORK INCLUDING CROSSRAIL SCHEME These diagrams show the rail network of central London, dominated by the classic terminus stations of the Victorian era. These are mostly reliant for onward connectivity upon the Tube network, which tended to form ‘nodes’ around the busier/more important termini. However, the change from main line to Tube is inherently inefficient, with passengers forced to detrain en masse, and with massive congestion occurring especially at rush hours.
