Transport for London has resumed work to make Northolt tube station step-free after delays due to the pandemic. Initial cable diversions began this week, with main construction planned to commence this spring and conclude by summer 2026. The project aims to enhance accessibility for users, including parents, elderly, and disabled individuals, with new facilities like a lift and footbridge. Local officials and advocacy groups have stressed the importance of these improvements for community connectivity.
Many other stations that add a lift from the ticket office to the platform have found enough space at the end of the platform next to the stairs to squeeze a lift in, but at Northolt, the platform is too narrow for that option.
Basam Mahfouz, London Assembly Member for Ealing and Hillingdon, said: Northolt is an incredibly busy station and local residents deserve the right to have an accessible platform to connect them into central London and beyond.
