| Mott MacDonald gains contracts to TfL for London Overground Mott MacDonald has been appointed by Transport for London (TfL) as Technical Advisor for the North London Railway Infrastructure Project (NLRIP). This scheme consists of a programme of enhancements for the North London Railway to improve capacity and capability and will include related infrastructure on the North London Line (Richmond to Stratford), the London Euston to Watford Junction local line, the West London Line (Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction via Kensington Olympia and the Gospel Oak to Barking line). These enhancements will run in parallel with renewals that Network Rail plan to undertake prior to the Olympic Games. There will be a direct link between the North London Railway Infrastructure Project (NLRIP) and the East London Line Project (ELLP). The ELLP will enhance the existing East London Line between New Cross/New Cross Gate and Dalston Junction Station. ELLP is now planning to extend their project northwards on new and disused alignment of the Dalston Western Curve to connect with the North London Line. Together these schemes will make up the new TfL Overground service. Mott MacDonald's role involves advising TfL, as Client Sponsor, on technical matters, with Network Rail being responsible for the development and implementation of the scheme. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
