Going Underground – Hayes in line for Bakerloo extension?

Plans have been unveiled to extend the Bakerloo underground line to Hayes, replacing the current National Rail services.

The £3bn proposals would see trains from Hayes running through as far as Harrow and Wealdstone and promises more frequent services. However, there would no longer be a direct connection to the City and passengers would experience six additional stops before reaching Charing Cross. Some residents have expressed concerns about possible 24 hour running in the future and smaller carriages.

As your local councillors we are keen to hear your views, as so we will shortly be asking you to fill in a survey to tell us what you think. Alternatively, you can just contact us directly and let us know now.

In the meantime, watch this space.
