Tooting station Access for All Improvements

We have installed two new lifts at Tooting station, to provide step-free access between platforms.  

This will make the station much easier to use for passengers with limited mobility, with luggage, bicycles and pushchairs. 

What work took place?

Each new lift provides step-free access to each platform from the main entrance of the station and down to platform level.

The project team also installed new CCTV cameras to enhance the security of the station, as well as widening footways.

Thameslink has also put in a wide ticket gate for wheelchair users and people with pushchairs or luggage, and will have soon finished refurbishing the front entrance and entire ticket hall, which includes a new ceiling and improved lighting.

When did the work take place?

Work to construct two new lifts at Tooting station began in spring 2023 and was completed in January 2025. Following final testing, the lifts were fully open in February 2025.

The station remained open throughout the work, minimising the impact on how passengers accessed the station.

I have a question about the project – how can I get in touch?
