"The newly added stations - Barkingside, Brent Cross, Preston Road, Queensbury and Totteridge & Whetstone - will now undergo feasibility studies to assess how lifts or other upgrades could be installed."
"Feasibility work will assess the practicality of upgrades at each station, including constraints such as platform depth, available space for lifts, and construction complexity."
"More than a third of Tube stations are now step-free, with Colindale Underground station the most recent addition, following completion of works in late 2025."
"TfL has confirmed that while it will fund the studies, construction will depend on future budgets and, in many cases, contributions from developers or other third parties."
Transport for London has given five previously rejected stations a second chance to become step-free, pending funding. The stations are Barkingside, Brent Cross, Preston Road, Queensbury, and Totteridge & Whetstone. Feasibility studies will assess the practicality of installing lifts and other upgrades. While over a third of Tube stations are now step-free, there is no guarantee of upgrades for these five stations, as construction depends on future budgets and contributions from developers.
