Local MP pushes TfL for Turnham Green Piccadilly line trial

In front of a full house at the Chiswick Area Forum on Tuesday evening, Mary Macleod MP called on Transport for London (TfL) to allow a test period where Piccadilly line trains would stop at Turnham Green station throughout the day.

Mary already secured the first ever public consultation on the matter last year when the Mayor was visiting Chiswick and it will run until 7th October. She has also set up an online petition which has gathered nearly 2,500 signatures, as well as a hard copy petition that numbers over 1,000.

Mary said:

‘Now is the time to give Chiswick residents what they have wanted for decades. I absolutely believe that we can find a way to stop Piccadilly line trains at Turnham Green and the way to test it is to run a trial. Agreeing to a pilot is the least TfL can do in response to the thousands of local residents who have replied to this consultation and signed my petition. Stopping the Piccadilly line at Turnham Green station throughout the day will improve so many lives and I want TfL to come up with positive ways in which it is possible to achieve this at peak and non peak times.’
