A long march for K-Pop fans if Festival goes ahead. Harrow-on-the-Hill to become main station for the event?

 

I understand that Harrow-on-the-Hill station on the Metropolitan and Chiltern line has been put forward as the main station for the proposed K-Pop Festival in Northwick Park.

There had been serious concern that the nearer stations at Northwick Park (Met line) and South Kenton (Bakerloo and overground) would not be able to cope with up to 15,000 fans due to accessibility issues. Northwick Park is the main public transport link for Northwick Park hospital and Westminster University's Brent campus.

Fans would face a long walk if the plans go ahead, along a busy road and large roundabout system. 

Stewards would be required along the route, presumably adding to event costs. It is unclear how fans would be stopped from using the alternative stations.
