Hayes & Harlington Station

Crossrail, together with Network Rail and Transport for London (TfL) have worked together at Hayes & Harlington station to prepare for the start of the Elizabeth line services.

Passengers travelling from Hayes & Harlington station can now benefit from major improvements in preparation for the new Elizabeth line services including a redeveloped station entrance and façade, and a new, bright, spacious ticket hall providing a more welcoming environment for passengers. Leading from the new ticket hall, with its widened gateline and new ticket machines and customer information screens, is a new footbridge and lifts to all platforms.

STATION UPDATE

The station improvement works at Hayes & Harlington are now complete and passengers are benefitting from the upgraded facilities.

Heidi Alexander, Deputy Mayor for Transport: “The improvements made to Hayes & Harlington station will make a huge difference to all those using the station, particularly those who need step-free access. It’s great to see so many stations being upgraded as part of the Crossrail project as we count down to the opening of the Elizabeth line, which will transform travel across the capital.”

Howard Smith, TfL's Chief Operating Officer for the Elizabeth line: "Hayes & Harlington is a busy interchange for customers using Heathrow Airport and now the station has lifts available for anyone who needs to use them, benefitting those travelling with luggage, wheelchair users, as well as those with buggies. The work to deliver the Elizabeth line means that customers using TfL Rail services out of Paddington benefit from stations with new facilities including step-free access ahead of the Elizabeth line opening next year, which will transform accessibility in the capital.”
