Date published: 18 December 2018

You asked

Please supply a breakdown of the programme and actual works that would be involved for the Harrow-on-the Hill Station lift installation project? How many of the six platforms are included in the scheme? Is there an outline/concept design drawing that would help me understand the extent and benefits of the project? Please can you also provide any indicative construction and equipment costs? I am not looking for a detailed breakdown of costs, only to understand what is involved (construction start time, installation time, testing time, opening time) in installing a lift system to a six platform station with step up and over entrances on both sides of the railway lines, served by many bus routes.

Three lifts will be constructed to take the public from Ticket hall Level to platform level, one lift will be located on each island platform (1/2, 3/4 and 5/6), as shown in figure 1 below. The project also includes a fourth lift that will be built at the northern entrance to the station.
