Lines and stations

To change stations passengers leave one and walk along West End Lane to the other. The diagram shows the relative locations of the stations which are spaced over about 200 metres (220 yards). Out-of-station interchange within twenty minutes between any two of the stations entails no additional charge. [1] As an example: a journey from Richmond to St Albans may be made on one ticket with a walk between the North London Line and the Thameslink stations. Step free access is available at the Thameslink and Overground stations.

West Hampstead Interchange proposal

In 2003, Chiltern Railways unveiled a proposal to redevelop the area along West End Lane to create an integrated station complex which would allow passenger interchange among five different Tube and railway and lines. [2] The scheme envisaged building new platforms on the Chiltern Main Line and the Metropolitan lines, and relocating the Thameslink and London Overground stations to the east side of West End Lane. The combined station would have a central passenger concourse and ticket hall, and pedestrian walkways would connect the stations. [3] The scheme also proposed the construction of a new housing and office development and widening West End Lane, turning it into "a tree-lined boulevard" with additional space for buses and taxis. [4] [5]

The plans were put on hold in 2007 due to uncertainty over the North London Line rail franchise. [6] The proposal is now longer possible, due to development in the area. Furthermore, both the West Hampstead Thameslink railway station and West Hampstead railway station have been rebuilt and upgraded in recent years, with step free access at both stations. [7]
