Providing a Crossrail 2 station at Wood Green would be
an alternative to Alexandra Palace and Turnpike Lane. It
would be located close to the main shopping area of Wood
Green and supports Haringey’s regeneration aspirations.
In addition, modelling analysis indicates that around 13 per
cent more passengers would board the Piccadilly line at
Wood Green compared with Turnpike Lane.
The Crossrail 2 station at Wood Green would be
underground and could include:
To enable Crossrail 2 to operate safely, we would need a
shaft between Seven Sisters and Wood Green stations.
The shaft would provide tunnel ventilation, access for
the fire and rescue services and a safe evacuation route
for passengers in the event of an emergency. For further
information about how shafts work, please consult the
Shafts Factsheet.
•2 x 250m long platforms, which would be around 20m
below ground level to the top of the tunnel
•Provide passengers with an alternative to the Piccadilly
Line to help relieve congestion on the line and provide
shorter journey times into central London.
To construct Crossrail 2 we would require two worksites.
•Support Haringey’s possible aspiration for the
redevelopment of Wood Green High Street

At this early stage of Crossrail 2’s design, we expect
a typical head-house to be at least two storeys high
and to occupy an area of around 25m by 25m. As the
scheme develops further, we would engage with the local
authority, interested stakeholders and local communities
to inform the designs for each head-house.

Site B – This site includes the Vue Cinema. It would be
used for the construction of the southern station shaft
and new Crossrail 2 station entrance and ticket hall. Some
station tunnelling works may be carried out from this site.
On completion of the works at each site, an aboveground
structure known as a ‘head-house’ would remain. The
head-house would provide access to the shaft, the
equipment within it and the tunnels below. It would
also allow air to be drawn into and out of the tunnel
ventilation system.

A single worksite would be required to build the shaft
and a typical shaft would take approximately five years
to complete. Activity on site would fluctuate during this
period. Once the site has been cleared and prepared, the
major construction work to dig out the shaft would usually
be complete within two years.
WA L P O L E
Site A – As the Wood Green option for Crossrail 2 is at a
very early stage of development, two options are shown
for a northern worksite. This would be either Green
Ridings House, a British Telecoms exchange, or partial
use of Arriva’s bus depot. This site would be used for the
construction of the northern station shaft and station

•Offer improved journey opportunities with approximately

Our preferred site at the present time is in the northwest
corner of Downhills Recreation Ground. This has been
selected because it allows us to avoid housing and
schools in the area. However, the Wood Green option for
Crossrail 2 is at a very early stage of development and
further work is needed.

A Crossrail 2 station in this area would:

Minimising our impact
To find out more
Drawing on Crossrail 1’s experience of building stations,
a Crossrail 2 station is estimated to take five to eight years
to complete and a shaft is estimated to take four to five
years to complete. Activity on site would fluctuate during
this period.
Visit www.crossrail2.co.uk where you can view and
download a range of factsheets, maps and other
information about the scheme.
Proposals for the scheme are still at the early stages of
design. Feedback from this and future consultations,
together with further design and engineering work, will
refine the proposals ahead of seeking permission to build
the new railway.
All our contractors would have to adhere to a Code of
Construction Practice which would be developed with
local authorities. This would set out requirements for
considerate construction practices that use the latest
techniques to reduce noise and disruption both for
surface and underground works.
As part of our Environmental Statement, a full evaluation
of the potential impacts of construction and operation of
the scheme would be documented along with proposed
methods to minimise impacts where required. These
proposals would then form commitments as part of the
application for planning consent.
Please refer to G6: A Typical Crossrail 2 Station to find out
more about the proposed design features of our below
ground stations.
Have your say
This consultation gives you the opportunity
to comment on proposals for Crossrail 2.
Visit www.crossrail2.co.uk to leave a comment or
provide a response to the consultation questions.
