Local MP: “Trial stopping at Turnham Green until December”

Local MP Mary Macleod has written to the Managing Director of Transport for London, Mike Brown, to ask him to stop Piccadilly line trains at Turnham Green whilst Gloucester Road station is closed.

Gloucester Road tube station is undergoing repairs to its lifts until mid-December. During this time, it will not be served by the Piccadilly line at all.

In December last year, Mary and local residents finally succeeded in getting a firm commitment from the Mayor of London to stop Piccadilly line trains at Turnham Green tube station throughout the day. This will happen as soon as the Piccadilly line upgrade takes place

Mary said:

“Piccadilly line trains won’t serve Gloucester Road until the end of the year, so I think this is a great opportunity for TfL to trial stopping at Turnham Green in preparation for the real thing when the upgrade has been completed. I hope Mr Brown will take my suggestion seriously as this would be a great step forward for local transport links.”
