Colindale station improvements

Skip to:

Colindale station will have step-free access and a spacious new ticket hall. Work will start in early 2024.

What we're doing

An upgraded Northern line station will be built for Colindale with improvements to include:

  • spacious new ticket hall, large enough to accommodate the expected increase in passenger numbers
  • lift for step-free access from the street to platform level
  • a new building, which will be an important gateway to the wider Colindale area

Barnet Council has given planning approval for the station building project. Any further residential development in the area will need a separate new planning application.

Funding the work

The scheme is funded by the Government's Levelling Up Fund (subject to final approval to release the money) as well as contributions from Barnet Council and TfL.

We're working with TfL to ensure construction work can begin as quickly as possible once this funding has been released by the Government.

Closures

To do the work, TfL will need to close the Northern line between Edgware and Golders Green for a time, and temporarily close Colindale station. The dates and length of these closures are not yet confirmed.

Colindale station will close temporarily because of the complexity of building over an operating railway and the narrowness of the existing island platform. TfL explored options to keep it open, but it is not possible to operate safely while doing these complex works at the same time.

We're working with TfL to keep impacts on neighbours and Underground customers to a minimum.
