OpenStreetMap labels the site 'HS2 Northolt Tunnels West Portal'. The high speed line, from its Euston terminus, will pass beneath West London in tunnels, emerging here. The flat soiled area at centre, presumably to be landscaped, spans the tunnel portal in a form of cut-and-cover construction. Silos for materials stand in the background. In the foreground is the Chiltern Main Line, London Marylebone - Birmingham, and a connection into the London Underground depot at West Ruislip. The view is northwest from the bridge that carries Ickenham Road over the railway.
