Mary Announces Piccadilly Line Consultation

At a meeting today with TfL Operations Director, Nigel Holness, and the General Manager of the Piccadilly Line, Tony Matthews, TfL outlined their plans to take forward this public consultation, starting late summer through to October. Details on how to get involved will be published soon and local residents will receive information through the door from TfL.

The stop between Hammersmith and Acton Town is 4.4km - the longest distance between stops on the Piccadilly Line and more than three times longer than the average distance of 1.42km between stops. Over the years many reasons have been given as to why the Piccadilly Line can't stop at Turnham Green - but Mary and local campaigners have consistently refused to accept that it is impossible!

Mary commented: "I have been working with local residents and campaigners for many years now to get the Piccadilly Line to stop at Turnham Green during the day. I managed to secure an agreement from The Mayor of London to get TfL to look into this when he came to visit Chiswick during the election campaign in 2012 and I am delighted that they have now announced the public consultation".

"Passengers will finally get their say and I would urge all local residents to take part. It is a mayor step forward".
