The Old Oak Common railway station's foundation slab in west London has been successfully completed, paving the way for further construction. The base spans 850 meters and incorporates 76,000 cubic meters of concrete along with 17,000 tonnes of steel. This substantial project employs numerous workers, and follows extensive excavation work. As construction progresses, the focus shifts to building six HS2 platforms and linking with existing rail services, reinforcing Old Oak Common’s status as a significant transport hub for London.
