Following sustained pressure and questioning from the Lib Dem team, Network Rail have announced their revised timetable for refurbishing Alexandra Palace station under the 'Access for All' scheme.

A principal contractor, BAM Nuttall, has been appointed, and the following timetable has been agreed:

  • September '25 - completion of design and opportunity for residents and users to comment
  • Early '26 - start of some construction work at night when trains are not running. Impact on operations will be coordinated with Great Northern Rail
  • Late Summer '26 - start of main construction work and installation of walkway and lifts
  • November '26 - Full delivery

Unfortunately, the project has been narrowed in scope due to budget reductions, with the stairs to platform 3 and 4 removed from plans. However, the building of three lifts and one walkaway has been confirmed. This change will likely require new planning permission, but Network Rail will need to check and confirm.

More regular updates and follow-up meetings with Network Rail and other stakeholders have been promised once the design is finalised.
