What we are doing

We continue to operate the Willesden Euroterminal site on a 24/7 shift pattern. At the site, we manage the reception and removal of excavated materials, ensure timely delivery of tunnel segments, and conduct essential maintenance tasks.

Rail activities
Work at the Willesden Euroterminal site is ongoing, taking place 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Material excavated during tunnelling arrives on site from the Victoria Road Crossover Box site. Most of the material comes via the conveyor system. Some material also arrives by road. The material is then removed from site by train, up to 30 times a week.

We also receive tunnel segments by train up to seven times a week. The segments are then transported to the Atlas Road site for storage, until they are needed within the tunnels.

From summer 2025 the number of rail activities on the site will be reduced as we will have completed the construction of the twin-bore Northolt Tunnel East. We will write to you with more information about this nearer the time.

Onboarding Centre
Our Onboarding and Welcome Centre is used to induct new staff members onto HS2. We continue to encourage visitors to the new facility to avoid local roads and to enter and leave the site via Channel Gate Road only.
