In 2020 the Government gave final approval to the [[High Speed 2]] (HS2) train link running from London to [[Birmingham]]. This will bring a major HS2 and [[Crossrail]] interchange station at [[Old Oak Common]], within walking distance from Kensal Green. It is expected to open in 2026 and will provide [[high-speed rail]] across London and to the [[Midlands]], as well as direct connectivity with the [[Heathrow Express]] airport rail link and trains to [[Wales]] and the [[West of England]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.globalrailwayreview.com/news/105607/hs2-old-oak-common-milestone-reached/|title=Construction milestone reached at HS2's 'super-hub' Old Oak Common|website=Global Railway Review}}</ref> It will be the largest new railway station ever built in the UK.<ref name="railwaygazette.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.railwaygazette.com/old-oak-common-hs2-station-approved/56552.article|title=Old Oak Common HS2 station approved|website=Railway Gazette International}}</ref>
