As most of the local residents are already aware, there are a number of new changes happening to the Thameslink Station located on West End Lane and Iverson Road, NW6.
The main improvement, which is happening in December is going to be the new entrance on Iverson Road which features lifts in the footbridge and lift making this station not only step-free for the first time but also suitable for people with disabilities.
Also there is going to be a new ticket office building which passengers will be able to pass through from the ticket gates inside to the new footbridge. The footbridge is wider allowing more people in and out of the station which, as current West Hampstead Thameslink users know, is much better!
In January, the original entrance will be back open which will mean that the station will have two permanent entrances and exits, which will greatly reduce congestion.
Another improvement is longer trains. There is going to be the first ever 12 coach trains between Brighton and Bedford which means that these trains will bring almost 2,000 extra seats at the busiest times on Monday to Friday.
These trains will run through the rush hour times which are from 7am to 8am and 4pm and 5pm - you may have noticed on your journey to and from work that all the stations are slowly extending their lines in order to be able to accommodate these changes.
West Hampstead currently already has great transport links in NW6, through London and North West London. There is the Thameslink, London Overground and London underground (Jubilee Line) and there are also various bus routes. These improvements are just another reason why West Hampstead is such a fabulous location.
