Plans for a new entrance to Tottenham Hale station have been halted following a significant rise in costs from an estimated £2-3 million to £14 million. The main entrance currently exists on the western side, while recent housing developments on the eastern side necessitated improved access. Transport for London (TfL) initially agreed to a new entrance, but complexities regarding user access, including step-free lift installation and ticket gate requirements, have complicated the project. Consequently, both existing footbridges will remain in use to accommodate high passenger demand.
Transport for London (TfL) has put plans for a new entrance to Tottenham Hale station on hold as costs have surged from £2-3 million to approximately £14 million.
The planned new footbridge was intended to improve accessibility for residents in Hale Village, but complexities regarding public access and requirements for ticket facilities have delayed progress.
High passenger demand has led TfL to maintain both existing footbridges, indicating a need for enhanced access despite the rising costs of the new entrance project.
Uncertainties about lift installations for step-free access and the integration of ticket gates into the new footbridge have contributed to the increased expense of the project.
