Northern line platforms open

23 November 2011

Northern line platforms at Tottenham Court Road Tube have reopened, following eight months of crucial work.

Passengers are now able to use the platforms after more than 100 people worked around the clock to complete structural work on schedule.

Engineering work, part of a £500 million station upgrade, will continue behind the scenes to prepare access routes for new staircases and a lift.

When the final stage is completed in 2016 there will be increased capacity, new entrances and step-free access.

David Waboso, Capital Programmes Director, said: 'Our priority has been to reopen the platforms as soon as the heavy civil engineering works were completed and they could be used safely by customers.

'As works to upgrade the station continue, we ask passengers to continue to bear with us.'
