In terms of shopping, employment, services and bus routes Wood Green town centre is a much more important hub than Turnpike Lane and even more so than the mainly residential area around Alexandra Palace station, so a new station in Wood Green High Road would make good sense. ![]() Source: /crossrail2/october2015/user_uploads/s2.pdf In addition it would require an intermediate shaft for ventilation and intervention, potentially in the northwest corner of Downhills Recreation Ground. This option would mean the route would not serve Turnpike Lane or Alexandra Palace. Be situated in the main retail area of Wood Green with access to shops, leisure and services.Support Haringey’s aspiration for the redevelopment of Wood Green High Street.Provide an interchange with the Piccadilly line.Reduce crowding on the existing services at Wood Green during the morning peak and reduce journey times into central London.If the line instead took a slightly more northerly route, there would be a station at Wood Green.This option would mean the route would not serve Wood Green.Ī possible alternative location for a new Crossrail 2 station at Wood Green Provide an interchange with National Rail services on the Great Northern railway line at Alexandra Palace, before reaching central London.Provide an interchange with the Piccadilly line at Turnpike Lane.Reduce crowding on existing services at Turnpike Lane by up to 60 per cent on westbound trains during the morning peak.This option proposes routing Crossrail 2 from Seven Sisters via two new Crossrail 2 stations and then onwards to New Southgate. Possible route alignment via Turnpike Lane and Alexandra Palace In its consultation document TfL summarises the advantages of each of the options: Under both options the line would run in a tunnel emerging just south of New Southgate station. This routing is still one of the options under consideration, but an alternative route is now being consulted on, where the tunnel would bypass Turnpike Lane and Alexandra Palace and instead go through Wood Green town centre. The two options for the New Southgate branch of Crossrail 2As originally conceived, the New Southgate spur would branch off the main south-to-north Crossrail 2 line at Dalston, with intermediate stations at Seven Sisters, Turnpike Lane and Alexandra Palace. For full information see the Crossrail 2 website. The latest phase of public consultations relates to more detailed planning of the entire proposal. Journey times across central London will be significantly shorter than those currently possible using the London Underground. ![]() At both ends trains will run over existing surface rail lines - northwards to Broxbourne, to the south to a variety of destinations in south west London. The main section of Crossrail 2 will run in a tunnel between Tottenham and Clapham Junction, via Dalston, Angel, Euston/St Pancras, Tottenham Court Road, Victoria and Kings Road Chelsea. A recent development with implications for our readership concerns the routing of the spur between Dalston and New Southgate. Transport for London (TfL) is continuing to develop its ideas for the routing of the proposed Crossrail 2 rail link and is putting new proposals out for public consultation. ![]()
