What we are doing

Works that began last year to build a new substation to house the electrical systems for the future Old Oak Common Station are continuing this year. After last year’s sheet piling, our teams will be pouring the concrete base slab for the substation. Various reinforced concrete works will continue until April 2027. Works will take place on our site at the Old Oak Common Station site, and by the Elizabeth Line depot. Working hours will remain 8am to 6pm Monday – Friday and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays.

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.
