TBM Segment Delivery by Lorry to West Ruislip
LBH has agreed that SCS can trial these deliveries by road for another month during March, with SCS will carrying out Engagement with residents to advise of the additional lorries delivering the Segments.
LBH will continue to review the situation before committing to allow this to be extended until around August 2024 (which is the current requested date). LBH did question the viability of bringing the lorries in along Swakeleys Road, Ickenham Road into the West Ruislip Portal, but was advised that due to maintenance works due to take place on the internal Haul Roads it would not be feasible at the outset to route the lorries via either Harvil Rd Gate 2 or Breakspear Rd South (and along the Haul Roads to the Portal).
Please note that there will be no additional lorries over the agreed 550 lorry movements per day around Swakeleys Roundabout with these additional Segment deliveries built into that daily limit. Over the last 3 months or so there has been a noticeable drop off in the amount of HS2 lorries delivering to the HS2 Sites in Hillingdon, so these deliveries should not cause any additional impact to our Road Network in the north of the borough.
| FROM HS2 We’re writing to let you know about some planned works that we will be carrying out in your area. From 11 March to 30 June 2024, we will be carrying out piling works at our Gate 2 site, in the area west of Breakspear Road South and north of the Chiltern Railways Line. These works are part of the construction of the eastern portal of the Copthall Tunnel. We do not expect any noise or vibration to disturbance nearby residents. Monitoring will be in place throughout these works. We will use water sprays to reduce dust generated by construction activities. For further information please see our works notification. https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/notice-of-piling-works-at-copthall-tunnel-site/ We would like to apologise in advance for any disruption or inconvenience this may cause. Every effort is being taken to ensure that these works are carried out in the least impactful way. We will ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum. |

An update on the pump building restoration works. The proposed work has been scheduled for 4th March, and we anticipate to complete this within four weeks.
London Overground line naming Transport for London   We’re naming the London Overground lines to make the network easier to navigate and reflect the Capital’s diverse history. We aim to make the changes by the end of 2024. Each of the 6 routes that make up the London Overground will be given a new name and its own colour. Giving each of the 6 London Overground routes an individual line colour lets us improve the way our customers experience our network. It also gives each line their own name and identity. Euston to Watford Junction line – will be called the Lioness line – and will be yellow Stratford to Richmond/Clapham Junction line – will be called the Mildmay line – and will be blue Highbury & Islington to New Cross/Crystal Palace/West Croydon/Clapham Junction line – will be called the Windrush line – and will be red Liverpool Street to Cheshunt/Enfield Town/Chingford line – will be called the Weaver line – and will be maroon Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line – will be called the Suffragette line – and will be green Romford to Upminster line – will be called the Liberty line – and will be grey To find out more information, please click here. http://https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/london-overground/overground-line-naming?intcmp=75262&cid=email_FINAL_TFL1396_London_Overground_line_naming-here In addition, specific improvements will also include: • Greater customer confidence • Clearer wayfinding • Clearer service disruption information London Overground will remain as the umbrella brand, keeping the iconic orange roundel.

Mini ramps have arrived Now available in 47 step-free Tube stations Following a successful trial of a new mini ramp at eight step-free stations on the Jubilee line in 2023, we are launching mini ramps at 47 step-free Tube stations today (Thursday 15 February). Mini ramps were developed following some customers telling us the step/gap on step-free to train platforms is a barrier to them being able to get on and off Tube trains confidently. Mini ramps cover the small remaining step/gap on step-free to train platforms, and make it easier for customers to get on and off the train. In particular, they offer people who use mobility aids with small or swivel wheels additional comfort and reassurance. If you would like to use a mini ramp, please ask for help from staff, or press the information button on a help point. Quick and easy to use, our staff are trained to use mini ramps and will be happy to lay one down for you. We will be launching mini ramps at more step-free London Underground stations later this year. https://tfl.gov.uk/transport-accessibility/ramps-at-stations?cid=email_FINAL_TFL1371_Mini_ramp_launch-Visit+our+webpage |
