Station Upgrades

• Gunnersbury Station

• Syon Lane Station
• Potential for improved accessibility

Piccadilly Line Upgrade

• Currently not confirmed (in contention under
  development of current TfL business plan)
• More spacious and faster trains
• New signalling allowing a much higher frequency
  of service.
• New service control centre, targeted signalling
  improvements, increased capacity at junctions and
  depots.
• Overall journey times will be cut by about 19
  per cent and capacity will increase by 24 per
  cent.
• Improvements will significantly reduce
  overcrowding on this line and, coupled with
  Crossrail, will strengthen the case for a
  permanent stop to be introduced at Turnham Green
  station.
