1 Crossrail factsheet: Seven Sisters to New Southgate Route Options Crossrail factsheet: Victoria station Crossrail is a proposed new railway line serving London and the South East, linking Surrey to Hertfordshire via Central London destinations. There are two route options between the proposed Crossrail stations at Seven Sisters and New Southgate. The route options are laid out in more detail below and on the map. The earliest the scheme could be open by is 030. NET New Southgate lexandra Palace Wood Green HRINGEY Turnpike Lane Seven Sisters possible alternative location for a new Crossrail station at Wood Green If the line instead took a slightly more northerly route, there would be a station at Wood Green. This option would: Reduce crowding on the existing services at Wood Green during the morning peak and reduce journey times into central London Provide an interchange with the Piccadilly line Possible route alignment via Turnpike Lane and lexandra Palace This option proposes routing Crossrail from Seven Sisters via two new Crossrail stations and then onwards to New Southgate. This option would: Reduce crowding on existing services at Turnpike Lane by up to 60 per cent on westbound trains during the morning peak Provide an interchange with the Piccadilly line at Turnpike Lane Support Haringey s aspiration for the redevelopment of Wood Green High Street e situated in the main retail area of Wood Green with access to shops, leisure and services This option would mean the route would not serve Turnpike Lane or lexandra Palace. In addition it would require an intermediate shaft for ventilation and intervention, potentially in the northwest corner of Downhills Recreation Ground. The following pages outline the local benefits and current design proposals for each individual station. Provide an interchange with National Rail services on the Great Northern railway line at lexandra Palace, before reaching central London. This option would mean the route would not serve Wood Green. ll figures are based on current working assumptions and are subject to change. S

2 0 lternative Option: Wood Green Station Why do we need Crossrail at Wood Green? Providing a Crossrail station at Wood Green would be an alternative to lexandra Palace and Turnpike Lane. It would be located close to the main shopping area of Wood Green and supports Haringey s regeneration aspirations. In addition, modelling analysis indicates that around 3 per cent more passengers would board the Piccadilly line at Wood Green compared with Turnpike Lane. Crossrail station in this area would: Offer improved journey opportunities with approximately 5 Crossrail trains per hour during the M peak Provide passengers with an alternative to the Piccadilly Line to help relieve congestion on the line and provide shorter journey times into central London. Provide step-free access from the street to Crossrail platforms and between Crossrail and the Piccadilly Line Support Haringey s possible aspiration for the redevelopment of Wood Green High Street ael s C of E School C E R I N G S L D E R O D L N D R O D 56 Morum House Medical Centre Wood Green Customer Services Centre S T T I us Garage W T S O N S R O D R I V E R P R K R O D O N R O D R N T R O D H I G H R O D 30 S C E N T P E L L T T G R O V E 0 C R N R O O K P R K H R D Y P S S G E Crown copyright and database rights 05 Ordnance Morrisons Survey 00035/0 Copyright Transport for London 05 lexandra House River Park House The proposal The Crossrail station at Wood Green would be x m long platforms, which would be around 0m below ground level to the top of the tunnel new station entrance proposed on High Road, which would respond to Haringey s aspiration for a new town centre dedicated passageway between Crossrail and the Piccadilly line platforms To construct Crossrail we would require two worksites. Site s the Wood Green option for Crossrail is at a very early stage of development, two options are shown for a northern worksite. This would be either Green Ridings House, a ritish Telecoms exchange, or partial use of rriva s bus depot. This site would be used for the construction of the northern station shaft and station tunnelling works. Site This site includes the Vue Cinema. It would be used for the construction of the southern station shaft and new Crossrail station entrance and ticket hall. Some station tunnelling works may be carried out from this site.

The shaft would provide tunnel ventilation, access for the fire and rescue services and a safe evacuation route for passengers in the event of an emergency. For further information about how shafts work, please consult the Shafts Factsheet. Our preferred site at the present time is in the northwest corner of Downhills Recreation Ground. This has been selected because it allows us to avoid housing and schools in the area. However, the Wood Green option for Crossrail is at a very early stage of development and further work is needed. single worksite would be required to build the shaft and a typical shaft would take approximately five years to complete. ctivity on site would fluctuate during this period.

On completion of the works at each site, an aboveground structure known as a head-house would remain. The head-house would provide access to the shaft, the equipment within it and the tunnels below. It would also allow air to be drawn into and out of the tunnel ventilation system. t this early stage of Crossrail s design, we expect a typical head-house to be at least two storeys high and to occupy an area of around 5m by 5m. s the scheme develops further, we would engage with the local authority, interested stakeholders and local communities to inform the designs for each head-house.

Crossrail station at lexandra Palace would provide a new interchange with National Rail services (Great Northern) to provide passengers with a high frequency, high capacity route into central London and the West End. station at lexandra Palace would also unlock the potential for additional homes and jobs and help to support the redevelopment of lexandra Palace (the venue) to accommodate more events in the north of London. The station would benefit from roughly double the amount of services that it currently receives. Local benefits Crossrail station in this area would: Offer improved journey opportunities with approximatelyo 5 Crossrail trains per hour Reduce crowding on existing National Rail services, which includes Great Northern services into Moorgate Provide step-free access from the street to Crossrail platforms and between Crossrail and National Rail platforms dd station capacity allowing up to,000 more passengers to use the station in peak hour Enable over 30,000 more people to get to lexandra Palace within a 45 minute journey time to support further growth of the lexandra Palace area Provide people living in the lexandra Palace area with access to around 40,000 more jobs within a 45 minute journey time Enable more people to access the lexandra Palace events venue Increase the likelihood of obtaining a seat on services towards Central London during the morning peak The Lake D U R N S F O R D L E R T R O D 8 60 H R C O U R T R O D E X N D R P R K R O D S K U R D R I V E 4 V I C T O R I R O D lexandra Park 85 L E R T 0 C LY D E R O D C R E S C E N T R I S E War Memorial 6 3 O U T R M R O D The proposal new Crossrail station at lexandra Palace would be x m long platforms, which would be around 5m below ground level to the top of the tunnel new station entrance and ticket hall onto Station Road potential second entrance onto edford Road to serve the lexandra Palace events venue To construct Crossrail, we would require two main worksites and one smaller site within and to the west of the National Rail station. Site is Network Rail owned land, with a portion leased for commercial use. This site will be used for materials storage, staff facilities and for construction of the northern station vent shaft. This will be the main site for station tunnelling works. O U T R M R O D Site This site is required for construction of the station box, station entrance and southern station vent shaft. s a result, the realignment of Station Road and the entrance to Heartlands High School is required. Some station tunnelling works may also be carried out from this site. Site C Would be used for the construction of a new interchange bridge between Crossrail services and National Rail services and a potential new station entrance on edford Road. 8 L E X N D R V E N U E P R I N C E S V E N U E 4 8 C R E S C E N T R O D 3 V I C T O R I R O D 53 8 lexandra Park 30 4 D G M R R O D P L C E 4 C R E S C E N T R O D 4 G T E S L E X N D R P R K R O D lexandra Park S O U T H T E R O D R R Train Depot C E mbulance Station U C K I E D F O R D R 5 I M P E R I L R O D O D N G Footbridge 3 H 5 R I D G E R O D C M R O E S T E R N R O D D T E R I C K R O D lexandra Park 5 Seventh Day dventist Church N O R T H C O T T V E N U E 40 D O R S E T R O D C O R N W L L V E N U E S T.

5 Minimising our impact Drawing on Crossrail s experience of building stations, a Crossrail station is estimated to take five to eight years to complete and a shaft is estimated to take four to five years to complete. ctivity on site would fluctuate during this period. Proposals for the scheme are still at the early stages of design. Feedback from this and future consultations, together with further design and engineering work, will refine the proposals ahead of seeking permission to build the new railway. ll our contractors would have to adhere to a Code of Construction Practice which would be developed with local authorities. This would set out requirements for considerate construction practices that use the latest techniques to reduce noise and disruption both for surface and underground works. s part of our Environmental Statement, a full evaluation of the potential impacts of construction and operation of the scheme would be documented along with proposed methods to minimise impacts where required. These proposals would then form commitments as part of the application for planning consent.
