What we are doing
We are continuing to upgrade power cables to modernise the network ahead of the opening of the station and guarantee its long-term stability. We will be finalising the installation of new ducts underneath the railway bridge and along the south of Wells House Road and under Old Oak Common Lane to protect the cables.
We do not anticipate significant disruption to residents for these enabling works. There will be some noise from machines such as small tunnelling machines. We will use acoustic barriers to prevent disruption.
