High Speed 2 – Old Oak Common station proposals

1. High Speed 2 – Old Oak Common station proposals Peter Moth – Principal Transport Planner, TfL

2. Background • TfL / Network Rail have put together a case for Overground connectivity at Old Oak Common, and this has gone to DfT and HS2 Ltd. We have included a sensitivity test exploring further links to Hounslow / Brent Cross. • BCR in ‘central’ case = 2.6:1 • BCR in ‘wider connections’ case = 2.7:1 • Benefits of ‘central’ case include: • forecast 10% reduction in HS2 arrivals at Euston • Substantial reduction in JTs to Richmond, Clapham Jn, Croydon • 400,000 additional people within an hour of OOC • 150,000 additional people within an hour of Heathrow • DfT are certainly interested in the concept, but are concerned about: • Additional costs • Interaction with latest station design for OOC • Slippage in the programme • DfT have commissioned HS2 Ltd to produce a feasibility study, for which TfL are producing business / economic case

3. Journey time savings to Old Oak Common with Overground links Large portions of SW London would benefit 400,000 additional people within an hour of OOC

4. Journey time savings to Old Oak Common with Overground links + link to Hounslow and Brent Cross Additional benefit to Hounslow / Brent Cross 500,000 additional people within an hour of OOC

5. Station options WLL/NLL station
