Description

This scheme involves the relocation of Waterbeach Railway Station.
Procurement activity includes the detailed design and construction of the scheme via appointment of a main Contractor under NEC Option A.
The scheme comprises a new railway station consisting of 2 No. platforms, accessible footbridge, and secondary means of escape (SME), a 200-space car park, taxi and bus drop-off, cycle storage, public realm, and a new access road from Cody Road. The new highway and car park will be operated and maintained by Cambridgeshire County Council.
The scheme also includes the decommissioning and demolition of the existing Waterbeach Railway Station.
It is proposed to transfer ownership, operation, and maintenance of the new station to Network Rail.
