London Overground Infrastructure Improvement
Programme Brondesbury Station Fact Sheet

• Background
• The work at Brondesbury Station is part of the
  326m project sponsored by Transport for London
  (TfL), Network Rail, the Olympic Delivery
  Authority and the Department for Transport to
  upgrade the London Overground network and improve
  its services.
• What are we going to do?
• TfL have plans to run longer trains on the
  Richmond to Stratford route. These will be four
  carriages long (the current trains have only
  three).
• In order to achieve this, both platforms at the
  Richmond (west) end of the station will be
  extended by 20 metres.
• This work will involve
• Clearing vegetation
• Moving railway cables
• Altering overhead cable positions
• Mini piling
• Building concrete foundations
• Erecting cross walls and placing concrete planks
  for the platform
• Installing new signals and associated equipment
  cabinets.
• Transport for London will also be undertaking
  refurbishment work to improve the station.
• How will we gain access?
• Most materials will be delivered by rail on
  Sundays.
• Excavators will be of a Road Rail type and will
  be brought on / off the tracks clear of the
  station area via the railway access off Cavendish
  Road or by West Hampstead Station.

• When will we do the work?
• The Network Rail works will start at the end of
  December and continue until May 2010.
• From Monday to Friday we will work between the
  hours of 8am and 6pm and Saturdays from 8am until
  1pm.
• The railway will be closed for 24 hours every
  Sunday during this period so this will be our
  busiest day. We will have to carry out any work
  immediately adjacent to the tracks and make
  deliveries on Sunday.
