The new station at Brent Cross<\/a> has entered its next phase of construction, as VolkerFitzpatrick<\/a> begins the installation of steelwork needed to build the station\u2019s concourse<\/h2>\n

The new station, being built on the Midland Main Line and Thameslink Routes, and positioned between the existing Hendon and Cricklewood stations, is the first major new mainline station in London, in over a decade.<\/p>\n

The VolkerFitzpatrick team has now moved onto the station\u2019s concourse construction, following the successful installation of the second part<\/a> of the new overbridge, earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Once opened in 2022, the new overbridge will provide public access, over this part of the Midland Main Line, for the first time since it was built, 150 years ago.<\/p>\n

The team will then begin installing lift shafts<\/a> and escalators, creating step-free access throughout the station for passengers.<\/p>\n

Once complete, the ambitious, yet visually stunning entrance, which has sustainability and environmental innovations at the heart of its design, will feature a roof canopy of glazed panels resting on timber glulam columns, vines connected to ground floor planters by a wire trellis system, and ornamental trees in the entranceway.<\/p>\n
