London's weekly railway news
Briefly

The scaffolding around Willesden Green tube station has been removed after two years. Questions arise about delays in launching new Piccadilly Line trains, prompting calls for transparency. Transport for London is seeking maintenance contracts for repairs and upgrades across multiple tube stations. Additionally, Network Rail is addressing noise complaints at Chiswick station. Liverpool Street station is set to reduce adverts in favor of more train departure signs. Meanwhile, HS2 faces criticism for budget overruns and delays but is noted for its notable construction, a long railway bridge.
Network Rail has given assurances that it is taking steps to reduce noise from ongoing work at Chiswick station following a number of complaints particularly about night time disturbance.
There will be fewer adverts and more train departure signs at Liverpool Street station soon, as Network Rail plans to revamp the adverts dotted around the station.
A number of tube stations across London are to get some repairs and upgrades over the next year or so as TfL is seeking a maintenance contract.
HS2 is over budget, delayed and unpopular. But it has given us the country's longest railway bridge, the Colne Valley Viaduct.
