Crossrail will relocate the station from its existing position on Drayton Green Road, which carries significant through-traffic, to Manor Road – a quieter side street.

Parts of the urban realm have already been upgraded as part of recent new developments in the area and these improvements will be extended as part of the Crossrail design. The proposals include innovative lighting, a statement landmark structure and a station totem to address the location of the new station building on a side road. Other improvements include a new forecourt and a raised table across the carriageway to calm traffic and connect the forecourt with the shops and the minicab office opposite; seating for those awaiting pickup; and a cycle hub providing covered space for up to 148 bikes.

Concept proposals for the unused railway platforms running parallel to Manor Road include landscaping or potentially container architecture. To help animate the forecourt, there is space for a new ‘pop-up’ cafe with tables and chairs.

Drayton Green Road, will retain its existing function, but will be treated in coloured tarmac with a flush central refuge to calm traffic and aid pedestrian crossing. The bus stop to the north of Manor Road could be relocated to outside the existing station building if space there can be created by demolishing the redundant ticket office.
