Does anyone know if there any plans to build any new stations and/or extra platforms to link up some of the existing bits of rail infrastructure in the London area? Some of the proposals/ideas below are more ambitious than others, but here's a list of some possible interchanges. Broadly, they're listed in A to Z page order, starting in NW London and finishing in the SE.
============== Fantasy Stations ============== 1. Draycott Avenue (Northwick Park): Bakerloo, Chiltern (Aylesbury line), Metropolitan 2. Peel Centre (Hendon): Northern, MML 3. Harringay Green Lanes: ECML, Goblin, Piccadilly (via travelator) to a new station. 4. Durnford Street (South Tottenham): GEL (Enfield Town line), Goblin, Victoria via travelator to Seven Sisters 5.

Bickley Junction: SET (Bromley South - Swanley line), SET (New Cross - Orpington line) There are bound to be some errors, but hopefully you get the general idea. Is there any chance of any of these ideas coming to fruition in the near future, or like Wood Lane, will it take the best part of 25 years to go from initial idea to actual completion? ![]() ========== Abbreviations ========== CT = Croydon Tramlink DLR = Docklands Light Railway ECML = East Coast Main Line (ex Kings Cross) ELL = East London Line GEL = Great Eastern Line (ex Liverpool Street) Goblin = Gospel Oak to Barking line GW = Great Western (ex Paddington) HC = Hammersmith and City Line KC = Kew to Cricklewood line MML = Midland Main Line (ex St. Pancras) NLL = North London Line from Richmond to Stratford SET = South Eastern Trains SR = Southern Railway SWT = South West Trains WCML = West Coast Main Line (ex Euston) WLL = West London Line from Clapham Junction to Willesden Junction Beyond that, there are similar places in the SE such as Farnborough, Edenbridge and Maidstone where a station to link passing railway lines might come in handy.
