Craig Owens, Director and regional rail sector lead for Turner & Townsend said: “Crewe is a key junction on the existing rail network and will provide strategically important connectivity to HS2.

“The programme provides a major opportunity to improve capacity for passengers as well as delivering economic and environmental benefits that support the Government’s levelling up agenda and the push for net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

“The appointment reflects the strength of our long-standing relationship with Network Rail and ability to deliver successful outcomes across a critical and transformational infrastructure programme for the UK.”
