Planned improvements
The station is so overcrowded in the morning that passengers have to wait outside
Victoria is one of London's busiest stations, used by 80 million people every year. By 2016 this figure is expected to grow to 100 million. Even now, the station is so crowded between 07:00 and 10:00 that passengers have to wait behind the gates or outside the station.
Our main objectives are to reduce congestion and delays, provide more convenient access from the north and east, and to make the station more accessible for passengers with reduced mobility.We are proposing:
