News on HS2 in Old Oak

Earlier this year, we notified the community of our programme of demolition work to remove the western section of the Heathrow Express Depot as well as a nearby substation on the Old Oak Common Station site. You can view that notification here .

Demolition of the western section of the Heathrow Express Depot is ongoing, and only the basement slab remains to be removed. This slab will be removed over the next two weeks, using hydraulic breaking to break the slab which contains metal reinforcement. This will be minimized and less intrusive munching techniques will be employed whenever possible to do so. For further information please read the notice here .
