TfL Consults on Proposed 18.5km West London Orbital Rail Link
What happened
TfL has invited feedback on plans for a proposed 18.5km West London Orbital service, which would operate as a new London Overground link. The consultation is open for eight weeks, running until November 18, concerning a route through north and northwest London. The scheme, which would operate with up to six trains per hour, aims to improve access to major hubs including the Elizabeth line and HS2.

Why it matters
The project is contingent on securing funding and approvals, with a decision on whether to seek powers to build the scheme due in 2027. If realized, the orbital link could support the delivery of around 25,000 homes, 11,500 jobs, and up to £1.3 billion in wider economic benefits for the capital.
Helix is undertaking projects across London and south of England.
