Network Rail has completed a £4 million (EUR 4.7 million) upgrade at Waterloo station as part of the £800 million (EUR 957 million) Waterloo & South West Upgrade to boost capacity at the station by 30% by 2018. The upgrade involved replacing key sections of track and installing a new signalling gantry at the station. The new signalling gantry now extends over platforms 1-8, and has been carried out ahead of work to extend platforms 1-4.
“The £4 million investment we have delivered this Easter weekend brings us another step closer to boosting the capacity at Waterloo by 30% for passengers. I’m pleased to see that our Railway Upgrade Plan is continuing to make a real difference in providing more space for passengers and making the railway more reliable,” Becky Lumlock, route managing director at Network Rail, said.
