Question
Train Noise in the Highbury and Islington Area
Train noise is making the lives of residents in my constituency miserable. I am pleased with the news that this will be improved by December 2018 (in response to question no: 2018/2220) but would like to know what reassurances have been given that make you confident that the work necessary will be completed within the given timeframe?
Answer
Transport for London (TfL) is replacing Victoria line rail on both the northbound and southbound tracks between Highbury & Islington and King's Cross St. Pancras stations. This work is now due to be completed by January 2019, and TfL has informed local residents of this revised date.
Work is already underway, with the first stretch on the northbound track now completed, and TfL has advised me it is confident that this date will be met.
