quote Town Tube station in the pipeline? 12 December 2007 RUMOURS are rife once again that Potters Bar is set to get its own underground station. A member of a discussion forum has claimed there are plans to extend the London Underground's Northern Line up to the town to ease congestion. According to a source who works for Transport for London (TfL), he said: "King's Cross now has overcrowding problems mostly from people going on the Northern Line. "The [new] loop would start at Edgware going along the line that was planned for the Northern Heights." This planned route would split off into three branches just north of Highgate, according to old plans for the route that was never built. One line would include stations at Bushey Heath, Elstree and eventually Potters Bar. Another would include stations at Borehamwood and South Mimms before reaching Potters Bar. The source also claimed there were plans for high speed trains to stop at Potters Bar. This could mean a new station being built, with the existing one either downgraded, or closed and maybe redeveloped as a shopping complex. He added: "The results would see Potters Bar becoming the transport hub for both south Hertfordshire and North London. "It would also see reduced transport times to Watford, Radlett and many towns." He claimed the project could be started in 2010 and finished by 2012. But the rail industry has denied the claims. A spokeswoman for TfL's London Underground department said: "I have spoken to the manager of the Northern Line. "There are currently no plans to look into extending the Northern Line to Potters Bar." A spokesman for First Capital Connect, which owns the franchise for the overground route that currently runs through the town, also denied all knowledge. A spokeswoman for Network Rail, which manages the train lines, spoke about the fast overground trains. She said: "From our perspective, there are no plans for high speed trains to stop at Potters Bar unquote |
