Old Oak Common Christmas Work

« on: January 04, 2025, 17:35:46 »

Does anyone know if the planned work at OOC^▸ over the Christmas shutdown was completed?

I ask because prior to the shutdown I thought I had read that the work being undertaken was to slew lines (and presumably related infrastructure) into new positions for what will become the new OOC station.

But I’ve just seen a YouTube video post New Year and the line look like they are in the same place.

So did events unfold that meant the planned work could not be completed ? Or am I mis-remembering what was actually going to occur?

I’m left wondering what was actually undertaken during the extended shutdown?

The first major blockade for moving the existing railway sideways is next year. It will be longer than this year's three days. I think this year was preparatory work by NR^» , such as moving cabinets and other equipment out of the way of the HS2^▸ construction teams. They will then start building the northern part of the station on land that does not have any operational railway on it.
