I walked along Iverson Road on Sunday and saw that good progress is
being made on the new overbridge and lifts at West Hampstead
Thameslink station. However the new entrance from Iverson Road does
not yet exist, as the strip of land between the road and the new
overbridge appears to still be occupied by the outdoor part of a
garden centre. Is anyone aware of the timescale for this land to be
vacated, and the station works to be completed and commissioned?
Kind regards, Dominic

Just saw this today on the Network Rail site:

Gives an idea of the timescales, new entrance by summer 2010, streetworks at
the junction of Iverson Rd and West End Lane, including some demolition of
NR owned properties, following in spring 2011...

Does that mean the lifts will only allow platfom to platform access until
then, or might there be a temporary level access?

Follwo up to this, Network Rail have just been given planning permission for
the Iverson Rd entrance, with work to start in Feb and complete in summer
2010.
