Victoria station’s £509m facelift

VICTORIA Tube station has been given the green light for a £509-million facelift.
Work on the upgrade is due to start in 2009 and will go on until 2014.
The project will see the station double in size, and create new ticket halls, lifts and escalators to allow step-free access from street level to platforms.
Mayor of London Ken Livingstone said: “The £509m redevelopment of Victoria station is a great example of the huge investment being made to improve the Tube and transport across the capital.” London Underground managing director Tim O’Toole said: “Upgrading Victoria Underground station is a key part of improving the Tube network.
“Together with the full Victoria line upgrade, this will deliver much-needed capacity and provide a safe, reliable and accessible station, fit for the 21st century.”
