Hillingdon Council has approved plans for the redevelopment of Hayes & Harlington Station for Crossrail.
The new station will be built north of the existing station by Taylor Woodrow.
The redevelopment will include a new footbridge and four lifts, a waiting room, platform extensions and a new canopy.
Work at Hayes & Harlington Station is due to start in Spring and it is expected to last 18 months.
Transport for London will run the new station when it has been built until Crossrail take over in 2019.
This is right on our doorstep, our office used to be in Hayes before we moved to Uxbridge, very exciting stuff.
UK Construction has seen the sharpest jump in the number of new orders in February since October 2014.
The steeper rates of increase were seen in Residential, Commercial and Civil Engineering. Residential activity saw the steepest rate of growth.
Construction companies have linked their new orders to the improving economic conditions and a positive outlook in business. However, some spending decisions have been delayed due to the uncertainty in the outcome of the upcoming General Election.
Arcadis Hyder, CH2M Hill and Aecom are among the consultants chosen by TfL to further develop plans for Crossrail 2.
The proposed rail route is planned to run from north-east London to south-west London and is being developed by TfL and Network Rail.
It has been estimated to cost £27.5bn.
London mayor Boris Johnson has said: “this project could have major benefits for London, helping to boost rail capacity and the creating of new jobs and homes in the capital and beyond.”
The Government is considering plans to extend Crossrail into Hertfordshire.
Quicker trains would run on a new rail link between Old Oak Common and the West Coast Main Line.
Passengers would also no longer have to change at Euston making it easier to get on with the job of rebuilding the station so it matches the standard of Kings Cross and St Pancras.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin confirmed a study into the extension during a visit to Farringdon station on Thursday where he met with the 100th apprentice appointed by Crossrail contractor Bam Ferrovial Kier.
McLoughlin said: “We are investing record amounts to build a world-class railway, so it is vital we seize every opportunity to make the most of these once in a generation schemes.
“That is why I have asked HS2 Limited to work closely with the Crossrail sponsors to look at extending Crossrail services to key destinations in Hertfordshire.
“Not only would this be a huge boost to passengers and the local economy, it would also provide flexibility when building HS2 into Euston, making sure we create a lasting legacy for the station.”
