Crossrail 2 factsheet: Wimbledon to Clapham Junction

Crossrail 2 is a proposed new railway line serving London and the South East, linking Surrey to Hertfordshire via central London destinations. Previous work on Crossrail 2 proposed a station at Tooting Broadway, but recent work has identified a number of problems with building a station at Tooting Broadway, and we are now considering an alternative station location at Balham. The earliest the scheme could be open by is 2030.

Why do we need a Crossrail 2 station here? Benefits of a station at Balham Large population growth is putting particular pressure on A Crossrail 2 station at Balham would still provide very the Northern line. The Northern line between Balham and similar benefits to one at Tooting Broadway, principally Stockwell is the most crowded part of the Tube network, helping relieve crowding on the most congested parts of and congestion is set to get significantly worse in future. the Northern line. A route with a station at Balham would: New capacity on this part of the network is needed to • Improve your journey with up to 30 Crossrail 2 trains avoid regular station closures in future. per hour to destinations including London, Hertordshire and Surrey Tooting Broadway • Provide a new route for onward journeys into central To relieve crowding on the Northern line, we had London proposed a station at Tooting Broadway. Land for this was safeguarded earlier this year and further work on • Connect with existing National Rail and London the station design has been completed to inform this Underground services consultation. Recent assessments have identified that • Reduce crowding on the busiest part of the Northern ground conditions in the Tooting area would make it line during peak periods by approximately 30 per cent significantly more difficult to build a station at Tooting Broadway than originally thought. As a result of these • Provide step-free access from street level to the challenges, we are looking at an alternative station Crossrail 2 platforms location at Balham. • Added station capacity allowing up to 6,000 more Work to date has suggested that a station at Balham could passengers to use the station in peak hours be built with significantly less disruption and would still • Improve access and support growth in Balham town centre provide many of the same transport benefits as a station at Tooting Broadway. A station at Tooting Broadway would take up to two years longer to build, would require much larger worksites and thousands more lorry movements. This is because a 30% station there would have to be built from the surface with Trains per hour Reduction in crowding more material removed by road. This would mean it would through the be more disruptive and cost nearly twice as much to build tunnelled section on existing services than a station at Balham. Further assessments of the ground conditions at Balham are required, but work to date suggests it would be faster, easier, less disruptive and cheaper to build a station here than at Tooting Broadway.

All figures are based on current working assumptions and are subject to change.
