Old Oak Common mega interchange

But there's also the possibility of (a) the West London Line (b) the North London Line and (c) the Central Line serving the new station. Old Oak Common could become more important than Stratford or Clapham Junction. HS2 don't seem to have investigated (a)-(c) yet, but they are shown as possibilities in the government command paper. What are people's views on how plausible these extra interchanges are? I don't know the area well myself. snip I think it's an excellent idea. In fact it is such a good idea that Old Oak Common (OOC) should be the terminus of High Speed 2. If OOC is going to include interchanges with all those lines, there's precious little point going on to Euston where interchange opportunities will be far fewer. That will also save the not inconsiderable cost of rebuilding Euston. |
