Old Oak Common Lane station would be situated about 400 yards (350 metres) to the west of the planned Old Oak Common railway station[1] and will offer interchange between London Overground and other rail services, including National Rail (Great Western Railway), Crossrail (the Elizabeth Line) and High Speed 2.

It is one of two proposed new stations which will connect with Old Oak Common, the other being Hythe Road on the West London line.

[5][6] In December 2018, TfL stated that the construction of the two stations would be heavily dependent on securing government funding.

Additionally, it has been proposed to run trains from West Hampstead Thameslink and Hendon via Old Oak Common Lane to Hounslow by re-opening the Dudding Hill freight line to passenger services.

[8] This scheme, known as the West London Orbital, is currently at public consultation stage with TfL.
