Brand new 14 platform train station in West London
Not sure if anyone on this forum travels to Birmingham or Manchester with their job but if they do the journey times from London will be reduced greatly when the HS2 project is complete.The new 14 platform station 5 miles from here at Old Oak Common will include 4 underground platforms for the HS2 route and expected to be open by 2026.The non-stop route to Birmingham will be mainly underground in tunnels and the journey time will be reduced to 49 mins from the current 1hr 21 mins.The area surrounding the station is also getting a makeover and being redeveloped and expected to produce 25,000 new homes and create 65,000 new jobs.The new station and redeveloped area is expected to contribute £15 billion to the local economy over the next 30 years.Anyone familiar with the location just north of Shepherds Bush will hopefully agree that this project will bring a much needed boost for the local economy.
