What railway stations are expected to open in 2018

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Besides Maghull North (and possibly Warrington West), how many others are expected to open in 2018?

 

[bluenoxid]

Yes to the former. Unlikely for the latter with a target date of 2019.

Apart from Paddington to Abbey Wood, I am not aware of any other contenders for heavy rail stations opening in 2018.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thanks for the clarification about Warrington West. Shall we keep it just to National Rail stations, not any on heritage railways.

 

[pdeaves]

Kenilworth is likely to open in 2018, I understand (I haven't read the Kenilworth thread yet).

 

[Altnabreac]

There are 6 new stations in Scotland that I believe have both funding secured and timetabling of services agreed with Transport Scotland / Network Rail / Scotrail. Only 1 looks likely to reopen in 2018:

Dalcross is potentially still on schedule to open in 2018:

Of the others:
Robroyston is scheduled to be December 2019
Kintore looks like being 2019 as well.
Winchburgh has funding in place but seems tight to complete construction in 12 months for a reopening in 2018 so 2019 is the most likely date as well.
East Linton and Reston are somewhere in the 2021 to 2023 range.

 

[bluenoxid]

Dalcross has been shunted to CP6 2019 onwards.

Worcestershire Parkway is reputedly "winter 2018/19", though I'd suspect 2019 is a little more likely: http://www.worcesternews.co.uk/NEWs/15139765.Worcestershire_Parkway_hit_by_nine_month_delay/

 

[bluenoxid]

Yes, early 2019 unless they get a good run. Not aware if they have started on site yet.

Corwen Central to replace the temporary Corwen East on Llangollen Railway

 

[ijmad]

London Bridge is fully re-opening. Guess that doesn't quite count though.

 

[CapitalStar378]

All the Crossail central section stations in December 2018, major new stations but all attached to existing ones.

Indeed so, but it was NEW stations that I made the query upon when I set up this thread.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kenilworth is likely to open in 2018, I understand (I haven't read the Kenilworth thread yet).

The existing Kenilworth thread on this website still seems to be as "clear as mud". Hasn't the County Council issued a "somewhat hopeful" station recently?

Woolwich is a new station, on the Abbey Wood branch - I think Canary Wharf is operationally separate.

 

[Ianno87]

Woolwich is a new station, on the Abbey Wood branch - I think Canary Wharf is operationally separate.

Correct. At one point CW station was known as 'Isle of Dogs' to differentiate it.

And hence why Woolwich is just plain 'Woolwich', not 'Woolwich Arsenal'.

Rotherham Parkgate

Rotherham Parkgate

Is that where the tram-train will terminate?

 

[pdeaves]

Is that where the tram-train will terminate?

Yes, a little north of the 'normal' Rotherham station.

Broadway on the Gloucester & Warwickshire Railway is expected to open in March 2018

 

[AndrewE]

Broadway on the Gloucester & Warwickshire Railway is expected to open in March 2018

You beat me to it!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Are we counting heritage railway stations on this thread or just naming new National Rail stations such as Maghull North?

 

[AndrewE]

The OP didn't restrict it to NR, just heavy rail. You could grouse that Broadway is "just" a re-opening though... I wouldn't, I think it and the track reinstatement are both stunning achievements.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The OP didn't restrict it to NR, just heavy rail.

That was clarified on the third posting on the thread.

 

[PR1Berske]

Using this thread's replies so far:

2018
Certain: Maghull North; Rotherham Parkgate

2019
Likely: Warrington West; Robroyston; Worcestershire Parkway
Maybe: Dalcross; Kintore; Winchburgh

Beyond 2020
East Linton; Renton

 

[D365]

2018
Certain: Maghull North; Rotherham Parkgate

Why not the Abbey Wood line stations?

 

[steamybrian]

Why not the Abbey Wood line stations?

The only "new" station on Crossrail is Woolwich which was mentioned in item 14 above. All the other stations on the route are interchange with existing LU or NR stations.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kenilworth is likely to open in 2018, I understand (I haven't read the Kenilworth thread yet).

The Kenilworth thread has recently had some "interesting" postings made up it which make for "interesting" reading. The month of February 2018 seems a likely contender for the operational date.

Does the new Barrhead South railway station (on the Neilston line) open next year?

Not expected until 2021

(Worcestershire Parkway)

Yes, early 2019 unless they get a good run. Not aware if they have started on site yet.

Passed last week and they have - extensive groundworks taking place.
