Subject: Thameslink Programme and the London Bridge Station Transformation
Over £1.3m is being invested every single day on Network Rail’s Thameslink Programme. London Bridge station, the fourth busiest station in the UK, is being completely rebuilt. The approaches, which carry 1,800 trains a day, are being extensively remodelled and pinchpoints are being removed. The railway control systems and signalling are being upgraded to support metro style services in the Core tunnels. Infrastructure is being adapted for the 115 new Siemens trains. This presentation and London Bridge Station walking tour will provide an update on progress on one of the biggest components of Network Rail’s Enhancements Delivery Plan.
