ODA receives planning permission for West Ham station
Published: 30-Nov-2009
The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) has announced that a range of temporary measures to keep passengers moving at West Ham station during the London 2012 Games have been granted planning permission.
The works at West Ham station will involve building a temporary footbridge spanning the eastbound track of the District & Hammersmith and City Lines, with a temporary walkway taking people to Manor Road. The temporary footbridge and walkway will allow Games-time spectators to get directly from those platforms onto the Greenway walking route towards the Olympic Park, without having to pass through the station itself. The measures will also allow regular commuters and residents to follow their usual route through the station with minimal disruption.
Permanent works to install an improved ramp and stairs up to the Greenway will also take place and will remain in place after the London 2012 Games. Work on the temporary measures at West Ham station will begin next year and the station will remain fully operational while the works are carried out.
West Ham station is one of the three London 2012 'gateway' stations that spectators will use during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. A series of temporary measures will ensure the station can cope with the influx of spectators traveling to the Olympic Park on the District and Hammersmith & City lines, while also allowing regular commuters and residents to follow their usual route through the station with minimal disruption.
A planning application outlining the works was submitted last month following public consultation work with local residents and commuters, and the plans have now been given planning permission.
