Costain set for £150m Gatwick airport station improvement

摘要

Costain is set to carry out the £150m upgrade of the railway station servicing London's second-largest airport. The Department for Transport (DfT) has promised £150m of funding for the Gatwick airport project that will see the station concourse double in size and two platforms widened. The scheme will also add five lifts and eight escalators. Work is expected to begin in early 2020 and be completed during 2022. The renovation will be managed by Network Rail, in partnership with the DfT. Gatwick Airport Ltd and Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership are co-funding the project, contributing another £37m and £10m respectively.
