In 2023, Transport for London (TfL) faced challenges in progressing renovations for the Camden Town Underground station, including the creation of a new step-free entrance at Buck Street. Despite acquiring Buck Street Market, which poses some scheduling conflicts, TfL asserts that the market's lease won't obstruct the station upgrades. However, opposition voices suggest that anticipated renovations may now not commence until after 2032, further postponing much-needed upgrades to accessibility and capacity, as current budgets do not support these projects.
TfL does not currently have funding to build the new entrance and ticket hall with step-free access. The focus on the market does not delay planned upgrades.
Objections claim the new market lease implies that renovation of Camden Town Tube station will not commence until the next decade, losing crucial step-free access.
