5.3 Crossrail will rebuild the disused Aldersbrook sidings west of Ilford station on the western side of A406 North Circular Road. They will be used during the construction phase as a tunnelling logistics site and as a servicing depot during operation.
5.25 The Aldersbrook sidings will be used during construction as a tunnelling logistics site serving the
tunnel fit-out trains for the Central route section construction works. The works on the site will begin with the demolition of the derelict college buildings, after which the site will be cleared and prepared for the earthworks. The access from Lugg Approach may need to be strengthened for construction traffic where it crosses the Alders Brook.
5.26 The existing sidings will be largely left in their current positions. New loading sidings to the south of the existing sidings, on the site of the disused college buildings, will be provided. The new sidings will be used for loading materials on to, and removing waste from, the trains. When complete, the site will consist of six sidings, a widened embankment and a hard standing area.
