Station experience
Six very different stations Southall, Tottenham Ct Road, Whitechapel, Ilford, Woolwich, Abbey Wood • • • •
Varying station areas, from superheated commercial to former industrial Varying concerns, from community response to town centre impact Varying relationships, whether cross-boundary or cross-sector Varying tools and resources, from Crossrail support to in-house teams
Broadly shared recognition that there’s still time/opportunity to benefit
