Update: Pause to works at Adelaide Road site

What we are doing

Works at the Adelaide Road Ventilation Shaft and Headhouse site were brought to a ‘safe stop’ in May 2024, with the expectation that works would not resume until spring 2025.

However, as part of a recent and ongoing review of HS2 construction programme, we do not now expect works to resume in 2025. Our shaft and headhouse site at Adelaide Road will remain in a ‘safe stop’.

We will be holding an Adelaide Road Ventilation Shaft and Headhouse information event in May 2025 regarding the programme review and other works in your area. Invitations and details for this will be sent in the next few weeks for local people to attend and ask questions.

What to expect on-site

The hoarding will remain in place, and there will be 24-hour security. Some non-intrusive works, such as monitoring and design will continue. The local community engagement team and the HS2 Helpdesk will still be available to answer your questions.

From 14 January 2025 we are using the welfare facilities in the Adelaide Road Ventilation Shaft and Headhouse site by our staff for the remainder of 2025, as part of the ongoing works to protect the Grade II* Listed Camden Winding Engine Vaults located beneath the railway near Juniper Crescent and Gilbey’s Yard.
