Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

[DubaiSpur]

Another avenue that has been explored and reached a dead end. TFL did a study and concluded that having two stations serving North Tottenham i.e Northumberland Park and WHL was adequate and that the cost of an extension. A branch line up to Northumberland Park was suggested but then that would have a negative effect on the Victoria Line at Tottenham Hale , Blackhorse Rd and Walthamstow Central station as any such branch could only be served by northbound trains so that would reduce any service at the above stations. Victoria Line has one of the best frequencies in the world , why ruin it for a football stadium, nothing wrong with a good walk to Seven Sisters or TH , keeps people fit.
Crossrail 2 will serve NP when built but it is light years away, that will be TFL's next massive outlay.

The Victoria line, spanning from Brixton to Walthamstow Central, boasts an exceptional train frequency of 36 departures per hour. Its exceptional service ranks among the highest globally, second only to Moscows Metro, which dispatch trains at remarkably frequent 95-second intervals

I mean, it's no longer just a football stadium - it's probably one of the top events venues in London, full stop. Football fans won't mind walking down to Seven Sisters/Tot Hale, but the hordes of Beyonce or K-Pop fans might prefer a more convenient route to venue and back, no?

Yes TfL ruled it out earlier, but we could perhaps ask them to reconsider now it's clear the stadium is an events venue that might need more connectivity. Perhaps club offers to part-pay for an extension? Would then allow them to do their 'Tottenham Walk' plan from a while ago of having a Wembley-esque boulevard from the station straight to the ground. (Though, it would be absolutely terrible for local businesses).

Just speculating here btw, I have no real inside info.

Yeh this is my thinking, you would hope we keep fighting for it
