Gallery: Tottenham Court Road upgrade 60% complete

New images from Crossrail show the progress of the £1 billion project to improve Tottenham Court Road station – now 60 per cent complete.

Work on new passageways, a new entrance and new larger ticket office have now been completed by London Underground to accomodate the additional 50,000 passengers expected to use the station everyday when Crossrail opens in 2018.

The station fit out is also underway, ahead of the opening of Phase 1 in 2015.
