Network Rail has launched a programme of investment worth more than £800m over the next three years in order to increase capacity and improve more than half a million daily journeys at London Waterloo station.
It is expected that the investment will boost peak time passenger capacity at London Waterloo by 30% by 2019.
The investment will provide a bigger London Waterloo station, additional seating and a new fleet of Siemens-built Class 707 trains that will be longer.
Station and infrastructure improvements are funded by the UK Department for Transport (DfT) as part of Network Rail’s £40bn railway upgrade plan to deliver a bigger, better and more reliable railway for passengers.
