But this is not the full extent of the possible changes to Battersea’s transport infrastructure. The group developing Battersea Power Station have recently made a bid for a station on the proposed Crossrail 2 route, a proposal which would, according to the Evening Standard’s TfL source, “improve commuter catchment from the south-west to Battersea” as well as shorten journey times to central London.
There are also plans in motion to improve the cycle-friendliness of Battersea and Nine Elms. On the back of the recent Barclay’s Cycle Hire scheme rollout in Wandsworth, the Queens Circus roundabout is undergoing a substantial redesign. The pioneering lay-out will make Queens Circus London’s first major roundabout that separates cyclists from other vehicles and councillors hope it will be a template for others across the city.
