New report calls for TfL to institute change by January 2014 to satisfy 6 million footfall

A new report “All Aboard at Turnham Green” has called on the Mayor and Transport for London to include Turnham Green as a stop on the Piccadilly Line from January 2014. Turnham Green has an annual footfall of 6 million, which is greater than both Hyde Park and Mansion House in zone 1.

Tony Arbour, Conservative Assembly Member for Hounslow and author of the report said:

“This provides statistical backing making the case for Turnham Green to be a regular stop on the Piccadilly Line to cope with  overcrowding at the station. There is a significant movement locally pushing for this vital change to the Underground timetable. Turnham Green has an annual footfall of 6 million which rivals a number of zone 1 stations, and the additional journey times for passengers at neighbouring stations would be minimal. I am calling for Transport for London to seriously consider introducing this service so thousands of my constituents don’t have to travel directly out of their way to get into town”.
