Date published: 19 July 2023

You asked

Please could you disclose any impact assessment or written plans regarding allowing Piccadilly Line services to stop at Turnham Green Station during the day.

We answered

TfL Ref: 0923-2324

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 26 June 2023 asking for information about Turnham Green Tube station.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked: Please could you disclose any impact assessment or written plans regarding allowing Piccadilly line services to stop at Turnham Green Station during the day.

The stopping of all trains at Turnham Green has always been dependent on the signalling upgrade and Automated Train Operation (ATO). The legacy signalling system and manually driven trains would not be able to meet the current Trains Per Hour (TPH) if we introduced all day stopping and this would impact the level of service operated across the entire line.

Please see the attached consultation report from January 2014 – we have not produced any work on this issue since then however we have answered a Mayor’s question on this in May 2021 which sets out the current position: https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/piccadilly-line-turnham-green

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
