The project

Working in partnership an Integrated Project Team (IPT) comprised of employees from HS2, WSP, Network Rail and BBVS (Balfour Beatty, VINCI, SYSTRA) Joint Venture are responsible for the final design, construction and commissioning of the HS2 Old Oak Common station in West London. The station is the London interchange station of the UK's second high-speed railway. It will be located on the site of the existing Old Oak Common Railway Depot, bounded by the future Crossrail Depot to the north, the London Overground West London line to the east, the Intercity Express Programme Depot to the south and Old Oak Common Lane to the west. HS2, Great Western Main Line (GWML), Crossrail and Heathrow Express services will be served by the new Old Oak Common Station. The station will provide six high-speed sub-surface platforms and eight conventional surface platforms with the commencement of services planned for 2026.

HS2 Old Oak Common Station will provide a state-of-the-art gateway to London and the wider area, with efficient intermodal interchange with rail, taxi, cycle and pedestrian modes. The station will incorporate passenger and retail facilities, providing a high-class and exemplary customer experience for all visitors to the station.
