We focus on five areas where we can make the most significant positive contribution: health and safety, ethics, green, corporate community investment, and diversity and inclusion.
This week, the former Eurostar terminal at Waterloo station permanently reopened for the first time since international services moved to St Pancras in 2007. Skanska worked alongside Aecom, Colas Rail and Mott MacDonald to bring the terminal back into use as part of Network Rail’s £800 million project to increase capacity on the South Western Railway network.
Passengers will benefit from more space at Britain’s busiest railway station, with platforms 20 to 22 now in use for regular services to Reading, Windsor and south west London. This follows work to extend platforms at Waterloo and nine other stations along the route, making room for longer trains, with more than 16,500 more seats provided for passengers over the last year.
The new terminal provides more concourse waiting space, moving people away from the main station, extra ticket barriers to reduce queueing elsewhere and new customer information screens, helping people find the train they need faster. There will also be direct access to London Underground for quicker connections in early 2019.
Platforms 23 and 24 are set to come into use in May next year as part of the next timetable change. By December 2020, South Western Railway will have provided a total of 52,000 extra peak time seats into and out of Waterloo.
