Upgrade plans for Tottenham Hale station
Tottenham Hale station is to benefit from improvements as part of TfL’s Tube Improvement Programme.
The proposals would be funded with £20m from the Unlocking New Growth Areas and includes a contribution from the Mayor’s Recovery Fund.
Subject to planning approval, work is expected to start on site in 2015 and will take approximately 18 months to complete.
David Waboso, London Underground’s director of capital upgrades, said: “The improvements include doubling the size of the current ticket hall, and installing new ticket gates. This will reduce crowding and queuing at the station, saving passengers time when interchanging between National Rail operated by Greater Anglia and Tube services.
“We are also proposing to create a new, more convenient pedestrian route from the east to the Tube and bus stations by extending the existing bridge to the Hale Village development. We plan to keep the station open during the work so that any potential disruption will be kept to a minimum.”
