Railway working to revised delivery programme

Crossrail has posted a series of new images showing the latest progress on the late-running programme.

They include shots of Farringdon station, a substantial development near the Barbican designed by AHR and Atkins.

The station design was developed by AHR (known as Aedas at the time) up to RIBA stage E before being developed by the contractor’s delivery architect, Atkins, said AHR London director Michael Walters.

PLP designed a colourful over-station office project which is most visible from the street, while John Robertson Architects was responsible for a second over-station development a block from the main Smithfield entrance.

这些照片展示了这个耗资180亿英镑的项目已经完成的工作,该项目原定于2018年12月开放,现在定于明年夏天开放。

但covid-19大流行使这一期限受到了质疑,伦敦交通局的文件本周早些时候透露,铁路部门正在制定一项covid-19恢复计划,这将构成修订的交付计划的基础。

Physical works stopped on all Crossrail construction sites, including the eight stations outside of central London that are being run by Network Rail, on March 24, the day after the prime minister put the country into lockdown.

But the papers published ahead of next week’s meeting of Transport for London’s board revealed that work on sites at both the eastern and western ends of the line has now resumed.
