West London Orbital

Published On: 6th March 2026

A post on the IanVisits website explains how the West London Orbital could run up to six trains an hour and provide ten new interchanges with rail and Underground services, alongside four new stations at Old Oak Common Lane, Neasden, Harlesden and Lionel Road, while some existing stations along the route would be upgraded to accommodate the new service. Funds have been allocated for the next stage of planning.

The project’s backers say the new rail link could support the construction of more than 25,000 homes and 11,500 jobs.
