Great news this week that @HS2ltd Old Oak Common Station was granted planning permission by @oldoakparkroyal! Our team has been working on it with @wsp and @WilkinsonEyre since 2018 and getting the green light for works to begin on site next month is an exciting milestone.
Planning approval has been granted for the largest new-build #railway #station in the UK - #HS2 Old Oak Common Station. Building a new railway station on this scale and size will be an incredible achievement for #British #engineering. Find out more: https://t.co/4GUryqZ0yw
