Questions to the World King, Boris Johnson
Mayor answers to London
Light Rail at Old Oak Common
Question number | 0950/2013 |
Meeting date | 20/03/2013 |
Will you support London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and Sir
Terry Farrells proposal for light-rail (DLR) at Old Oak Common.
Answer
by
Boris Johnson
When I outlined my support for investing in a high speed rail network
for the UK it was conditional upon a number of issues being adequately
addressed. This included integrating the HS2 station at Old Oak Common
with the rest of Londons transport network and it being planned to
support the redevelopment of the surrounding area.
Whilst early HS2
designs include proposals for connections to Crossrail and the Great
West Main Line, they do not include a connection to the Overground
network, which is essential for connecting this new transport hub and
major development zone to the rest of southwest and northwest London.
