Transport for London

Benefits

Tottenham Court Road A series of enhancements are planned for Tottenham Court Road during the time that work will be carried out on the two major transport projects.

These projects, which will be run by local authorities and other organisations including Design for London, will provide better facilities for pedestrians, better traffic circulation and easier access to buildings in the area.

The projects will take place at different times and are still subject to detailed design. They include:

Some of the street improvements are at an earlier stage of planning and will happen after the construction works are complete.

Tottenham Court Road Tube station

The redevelopment of Tottenham Court Road station will bring many benefits, including:

Other benefits will increase safety and security, enhance accessibility and improve passenger information. This will be done through:

Crossrail

Crossrail will help to underpin the UK economy by ensuring the Capital continues to be a leading world city over the next 20 years and beyond.

Connecting the key centres of Heathrow, the West End, City and Docklands, Crossrail solves the problem of how to transport the large numbers of people who work in these areas, which contain 30 per cent of London's jobs.

Crossrail will increase the public transport network capacity in London by 10 per cent, cut journey times and relieve congestion on rail and on the Underground. This new service will have double the capacity of the Jubilee line and will support regeneration and jobs in many areas of London, including the West End.

For the first time in London, twin bore tunnels will be built that are wide enough to carry mainline passenger trains beneath central London.
