C Spencer takes £11m Glasgow station deal

Thursday, 13 October 2011

Network Rail has announced that C Spencer will build the new £11m Dalmarnock Station in Glasgow.

The station is being redeveloped in time for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, when it will be a key transport hub for those travelling to and from many of the Games’ events.

The contract includes the delivery of:
•A new, fully DDA-compliant station building (relocated to Dalmarnock Road from Swanston Street)
•Lift access to both platforms
•A new pedestrian footbridge
•New platform surfaces
•New wall cladding on each platform
•New customer information and communication systems
Work on site is already underway, with C Spencer having previously won an advance works contract to prepare the station for refurbishment.

David Simpson, Network Rail route managing director for Scotland, said: “C Spencer has a track-record of successful delivery on Network Rail projects and we look forward to working with the company to complete this new facility.

“We are confident that we can deliver the new station on-time and within budget and that it will provide visitors with a first-class welcome to the local area, during the Commonwealth Games and beyond.”

Network Rail expects to complete the project by autumn 2013.
