Tottenham Court Road Tube Station, redevelopment on the Northern Line segment of the London Underground, London, UK
Crossrail and Transport for London (TfL) are jointly redeveloping the existing Tottenham Court Road Tube station and constructing a new station with an estimated investment of £1bn ($). The redevelopment of the 100 years-old tube station began in June 2011 and is expected to be completed by 2016-2017. The station is located at the intersection of Oxford Street, Charing Cross Road and Tottenham Court Road. The existing underground station handles 150,000 passengers per day, which is expected to increase to 200,000 a day when Crossrail comes on stream. The new four storied underground station will feature a new western ticket hall at Dean Street, an eastern ticket hall, three new station entrances, step-free access, additional escalators to access northern line platforms, a public piazza, access to the Northern and Central line platforms and a western station box (25m below the ground) between Dean Street and Great Chapel Street to create an access to the Crossrail platforms. The construction also involves the structural work and fit-out of the ticket halls, tunnels and Goslett Yard Box. A new concourse tunnel, escape tunnels, cross passages, interchange tunnel and connector stub tunnels will be built. The tube station will be connected to the new station allowing passengers to commute between the tube stations and Crossrail stations. The station acts as an interchange between the Northern and Central Lines too. The platform tunnels will be 260m long and will be 25m apart from each other. The 500,000ft² of area at the eastern end of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road is allocated for retail, office and residential purpose.
