Hackney Downs Overground station, promised accessibility upgrades in 2019, still lacks step-free access six years later. Transport for London (TfL) confirmed that funding discussions with the Department for Transport (DfT) and Network Rail are ongoing, blocking progress. Initially, the upgrades were expected to finish by 2024, yet delays persist as TfL grapples with a funding shortfall. This situation mirrors issues faced at other stations, like Seven Sisters, indicating widespread challenges in improving transport accessibility across London's Overground network.
Plans for Hackney Downs station to gain step-free access remain stalled almost six years after their initial announcement, highlighting major delays in transport accessibility improvements.
