MERIDIAN WATER WORK UNDERWAY

VolkerFitzpatrick has begun construction of the new Meridian Water station on the West Anglia main line, due to open in May 2019, when the adjacent Angel Road station is due to close. The project forms part of Network Rail’s Lee Valley Rail Programme, which is also delivering a third track between Lea Bridge and Meridian Water by the same date to enable an extra two trains per hour in each direction to operate. The station is intended to drive regeneration in the area and will be surrounded by a development of 10,000 new homes. Unit Nos 317884/503 pass the construction site on 6 February 2018 with the 10.15 Cambridge North – Liverpool Street service. Antony Guppy
