    Harlesden Town Team asks:

    HOW CAN WE REDESIGNWILLESDEN JUNCTION

    STATION?The image above was producedby the Old Oak & Park RoyalDevelopment Corporation.

    It shows the view looking south atthe yellow arrow below (roughly!).

    We have extended the new path toHarlesden High Street and Station

    Approach (dashed lines). High-level platforms

    (Stratford to Richmondand Clapham Junction)

    Low-level platforms

    (Euston to WatfordJunction, and Bakerloo)

    The main image below shows Transport

    for Londons plan for minor station

    improvements at Willesden Junction

    - now abandoned.

    These City lines tracks (in red) from the low-level to the high-level could perhaps be removed, to allow more redevelopmentof the land.

    An alternative operational connection could be made whereshown (in blue), particularly if the Willesden depot for London

    Overground trains (photo below) were moved to Wembley.

    There is also space to slew the

    freight tracks to the left and add anextra platform, shared by terminatinglow-level and high-level trains.

    This is one possible station redevelopment(perhaps without three full-time ticket offices!)

    The low-level bay platform is removed, the two tracks are moved apart, and the currentspace (green) under the high-level railway bridges is used for easy interchange with newhigh-level platforms (blue) and a new ticket office on the Old Oak Common footpath.
