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 installing 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 will be installing sheet piles to help us prepare for the next phase of work, which will involve tunnelling using hand tools. We will notify residents about this work in early autumn 2026.
Works will be during regular working hours:
(Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, Saturday, 8am to 1pm). We won’t start any breaking work before 9am on Saturdays.

Tuesday 25 August until Monday 26 October 2026
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.
