"The new HS2 Old Oak Common Station will help kick-start the UK' largest regeneration project, which aims to transform the former railway and industrial area, into a new neighbourhood supporting up to 65,000 jobs and 25,500 new homes.

"The new station will be built on the former Great Western Railway depot at Old Oak Common in North West London. When the high speed services start running in 2026, it will take only nine minutes to get to London Euston and 38 minutes to Birmingham Curzon Street.

"The six high-speed platforms will be situated underground with an integrated connection to the adjoining conventional station at ground level via a stylish shared overbridge providing seamless connections between HS2 and Elizabeth line (Crossrail) trains, to Heathrow and central London.

Station design so far

"The station design has been developed by engineering consultants, WSP, and architects, WilkinsonEyre, and so far it includes plans for:

• A light and airy concourse linking both halves of the station.
• A soaring roof inspired by the site’s industrial heritage.
• A new public park to welcome visitors and provide a new focal point for the growing community.
• New shops and retail spaces.
• Seamless interchanges to other train services and alternative types of transport such as the bus, walking and cycling networks.

"You can find out more about our station design in our Old Oak Common Station Design leaflet here.
