Trans-Pennine upgrade enters next phase
The UK infrastructure manager Network Rail has chosen Jacobs as its technical services integration delivery partner for the trans-Pennine route upgrade.
The 110 km line stretches across the North of England between York and Manchester, running via Leeds and Huddersfield. It includes 285 bridges and viaducts and 10 km of tunnels.
The major programme will deliver faster, more reliable and more frequent journeys, Network Rail said. Besides more frequent passenger trains, 15 more freight trains can use the line every day, removing more than 1,000 lorries from the country’s roads. (ben)
