Keeping Caledonian Road tube station open is a victory for local people

Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat London Assembly transport spokesperson, commenting on Transport for London’s confirmation today that plans to refurbish Caledonian Road tube station will definitely not lead to the closure of the station, said:

“It is great news that Transport for London have fully reviewed their plans and can now confirm that it is possible to keep Caledonian Road station open whilst refurbishing its lifts one at a time.

“The complete closure of Caledonian Road station would have had a massive impact on the ever increasing number of people who live and work in the area.

“Once again I wish to congratulate Nigel Scott and the many people who got behind this campaign. It has been a privilege to work with such dedicated campaigners. This is real victory for local people.”
