Kentish Town Tube station on the London Underground Northern Line will be reopened sooner than you think.
Kentish Town ? We haven’t heard that name in, well, 18 months Kentish Town Tube station will no longer be the London Underground station that time forgot. Since June 2023, the Northern line stop has been shut so Transport for London could carry out repairs. This included, to quote TfL, fixing the ‘the most unreliable’ escalators on the network – a pair built in 1997. ‘The two escalators at Kentish Town are in urgent need of replacement due to their poor condition and performance,’ TfL says.
The two escalators that sparked the overhaul were built in 1997 But TfL has, in what is a Christmas miracle for Northern line commuters, announced that the station will reopen on December 23. …Just before closing early the next day for Christmas, that is. If all goes to plan with the remaining touches, the station will be ‘future proof’. The escalators are expected to last at least 40 years, while the rest of the station has been necked out with new ticket gates, signage and tiling.
