Alperton tube station, notable for housing the last wooden escalator in the London Underground, is set to enhance its accessibility with the installation of two new lifts. Pending financial support from Brent Council, which will cover up to £5 million, the upgrades will make the station fully step-free for the first time. This improvement comes in response to anticipated increases in passenger traffic from new housing developments—around 6,000 homes, including wheelchair-accessible units—ensuring transport infrastructure meets community needs. Transport for London is ready to proceed with detailed design following the council's financial commitment.
