A Vision Of Old Oak Common In The Future

Transport for London’s Transport Plan for 2050 is particularly forceful about what will happen at Old Oak Common.

A key aim beyond this is to integrate Old Oak Common as a Canary Wharf of the future, with around 90,000 jobs and 19,000 homes

They also have a detailed map, showing lines reaching out in all directions, from the junction of Crossrail, HS2 and the Overground. In addition to the links through the Goblin Extension, I’ve traced earlier, there are a possible extension of the West London Line to Balham and a service northwards on the Midland Main Line to somewhere like St. Albans.

So London is getting another hub to complement Stratford and Canary Wharf in the East and Clapham Junction in the South.
