The
New Republic Council, backed by the
Paddington and
Hammer Council, has released a public letzer to the
Cross City Tunnel Company, requesting a mid-tunnel station under
New Republic, leading onto Congress Street. Mekle Investment has aquired multiple, still vacant plots in
New Republic, which could be used as an entrance to the underground stop. The plots are directly under the proposed tunnel location, making it suitable.
The five block tall tunnel, seen from south-north, is planned to lower down from Y70 to Y55, barely passing the river (which runs down to Y60), then curving left and rising back up to YHR (Y
Harrow Rails). Congress street is at Y68, making the gap between the street and a station significant.
