Farringdon Elizabeth Line Station Handed Over to Transport for London
Farringdon Elizabeth line station handed over to Transport for London March 5, 2021 Farringdon Elizabeth line station has been officially handed over to Transport for London (TfL). It is the first of the central London stations to be transferred over to TfL, who will operate the Elizabeth line. The station is now ready and the extensive testing and commissioning of systems have been finalised in advance of Trial Operations beginning later this year. Trial Operations is the final phase of testing involving trials to ensure the safety and reliability of the railway for public use. This includes real-time testing of evacuations of trains and stations before opening the Elizabeth line. The contractor, Bam Ferrovial and Kier Joint Venture (BFK JV) will continue demobilisation from the site. This is the second of the new Elizabeth line stations to be handed over to TfL and the first to London Underground as infrastructure manager. Custom House was the first Elizabeth line station to be handed over to TfL last year. Crossrail confirmed last month that Tottenham Court Road and Paddington stations have reached the T-12 landmark, which means the stations are now considered to be 12 weeks away from being ready to hand over and will be the next stations to transfer to TfL. Mark Wild, Crossrail Chief Executive, said: “I am delighted that Farringdon station has been handed over to London Underground, this is a huge milestone for Crossrail. “I am proud of everyone who has worked so hard to get this magnificent new railway station over the line and we look forward to more stations reaching this stage in the coming months.” Kim Kapur, London Underground’s Head of Station Integration, said: “This is a great achievement by the both the Crossrail and London Underground teams.

Call for Entries from Architects, Designers and Artists to Improve Culture Mile’S Pedestrian Experience Along Its North-South Route
Call for entries from architects, designers and artists to improve Culture Mile’s pedestrian experience along its North-South route The City of London Corporation is delighted to announce a call for entries to improve wayfinding, walkability and the pedestrian experience along Culture Mile’s ‘North-South route’ between the Millennium Bridge and Barbican. The City of London Corporation is seeking an innovative design concept and proposal for the ‘Culture Mile North-South Route’, between the Millennium Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, Aldersgate Street and St Martin’s-le-Grand, to be included as part of the Culture Mile 2019-2020 public programme. The City is looking for inspiring designs that will improve the wayfinding, walkability, appearance and vitality of this key thoroughfare, which links the Southbank to the Culture Mile area. This busy route incorporates entrances to several landmarks, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Museum of London and the Barbican estate. It includes the Barbican and St Paul’s underground stations, which collectively provide over 28 million passenger entrances/exits annually. We are inviting architects, designers and artists to submit a concept design that will elevate and enhance the look and feel of this area, providing visual cues, increased wayfinding and a deeper sense of connection between St Paul’s and Barbican underground stations. Following the shortlist of entries in July, the winning team will be revealed and commissioned to develop a fully costed, feasible design that can be installed in a section of the route, subject to planning permission and other relevant City authorisations. The design will remain in situ between Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020.
