What we are doing
We are continuing to divert critical and large parts of the utility network under Old Oak Common Lane. We will be excavating utilities, decommissioning aging utilities and making new gas and water connections as part of work to prepare Old Oak Common Lane for the opening of Old Oak Common Station. Now until mid-June 2026, option for Saturday and Sunday working from 8am until 5pm and weeknight working until 10pm. While these extended hours are in place, we make every effort to restrict our activities to our regular hours.
We will be excavating utilities, decommissioning aging utilities and making gas and water connections. Due to the complex scope and volume of work, we need to continue our extended working hours.
These works will be noisy. They have been approved by the local authority with agreement that we use methods to reduce our impact, but we are sorry for any disruption.
HS2 is undergoing a comprehensive reset to ensure it can be built efficiently and for the lowest reasonable cost. This work is being carried out in stages and will be completed in 2026. We will provide you with updates on the reset and what this means for our plans to build the railway in your area.
