  • Case Study: Looking After Customers
    Case Study: Looking after customers Focus on the customer Recommendations for future projects to improve the delivery of infrastructure projects to maintain a focus on customers Throughout the Thameslink Programme the top priority was to look after customers through: • maintaining train service capacity wherever possible • understanding the touch points prior to, during and after journeys • identifying the best journey options • providing an excellent communications campaign covering each stage of the programme • highlighting the benefits achieved – ‘This is why… ‘ • providing ticket acceptance on alternative routes and types of transport • recruiting additional staff to assist during the major engineering works • encouraging volunteers from the Train Operating Companies (TOCs), Network Rail and Department for Transport to assist. Maintaining train service capacity where possible For each of the stages of the programme which required changes in train services both during engineering works and post the network changes, the TOCs and Network Rail focused on passenger numbers and journeys with emphasis on the peak hours of travel to develop timetables providing required capacity. Major timetable changes, for example the Charing Cross run-throughs, where trains to Charing Cross did not stop at London Bridge station between January 2015 and August 2016 and the Cannon Street run-throughs, where trains to Cannon Street did not stop at London Bridge station between 29 August 2016 to January 2018 were fully consulted along with the May 2018 timetable changes. A marketing campaign ‘Times are changing’ was run; https://www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/travel-information/live-travel-information/may-timetable This covers details of the Southeastern May 2018 Timetable Consultation Response.

  • London Bridge Station Redevelopment Institution of Structural Engineers: Structural Transformation Award
    London Bridge Station Redevelopment Institution of Structural Engineers: Structural Transformation Award PROJECT SUMMARY LOCATION London, UK PROJECT VALUE £880M CLIENT Network Rail ENGINEERS Arcadis WSP joint venture CONTRACTOR Costain ARCHITECT Grimshaw STATUS Completed January 2018 PROJECT DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION The London Bridge Station Redevelopment project has completely transformed the station. Since the 19th century, the through tracks on the northern part of the site evolved separately from the southern terminating tracks. The project brought the two parts together for the first time, creating a unified station with clear routes for passengers changing trains; accessing London Underground, buses and taxis; or walking or cycling. This transformation has been made possible by excellent, creative structural engineering; innovative designs allowed the redevelopment to be carried out safely, while train services continued to operate throughout. The structures were designed to be elegant and efficient, and to minimise long-term maintenance. The redevelopment of London Bridge is part of the Government-sponsored Thameslink Programme, which is an ambitious programme of enhancements to transform north-south travel through London. It delivers: • New, longer and more spacious trains running through central London – every 2-3 minutes at peak. • Improved connections to more destinations on an expanded Thameslink network. • More robust tracks and modern signalling, using digital railway technology to make journeys more reliable. Page 1 of 6 London Bridge Station Redevelopment Institution of Structural Engineers: Structural Transformation Award HISTORY London Bridge became the first railway terminus in the capital when the London & Greenwich Railway opened in 1836. The line was elevated for its full length of 5.5km on brick viaducts connected by bridges, in order to function independently of the road network.
