About the event
The Old Oak Common station development is one of the largest infrastructure projects currently underway in the UK. Located in West London, the site will become a major transport hub, connecting High Speed 2 (HS2) with the Elizabeth Line and Great Western Main Line, significantly improving connectivity across the country. The project spans approximately 32 acres and includes the construction of a state-of-the-art station featuring six high-speed platforms and eight conventional platforms.
As of now, the project is estimated to be around 50–60% complete, with major structural works progressing and fit-out activities beginning in several areas. Once finished, Old Oak Common will serve as a gateway to HS2, accommodating thousands of passengers daily and supporting regeneration in the surrounding area. The purpose of this development is not only to enhance transport links but also to create economic opportunities, jobs, and community benefits, making it a cornerstone of the UK’s future rail network.
