Kier appointed to deliver £65m main works package at Oxford railway station

Network Rail has appointed Kier to deliver the main works package at Oxford railway station, as part of the Oxford Corridor Phase 2 Project.

Kier has secured the contract to take Phase 2C and 2D of the project to Governance for Railway Investment Projects (GRIP) Stage 8, following a previous appointment to deliver the detailed design and enabling works, earlier this year.

Phase 2D will see platform 5 and station improvement works, which involve the construction of an additional platform and overhead canopy, a new western station entrance, ticket office, waiting room, toilets, café and shops, alongside the construction of a subway to connect the western entrance to the new platform.

Mark Pengelly, Group managing director at Kier Infrastructure, said: “We’re delighted to have been appointed to deliver the main works at Oxford railway station, it will transform the network links in the area by providing a bigger and better station and helping to enable improved journeys for passengers and freight.”

Once complete, the new fifth platform and enhanced facilities will significantly improve the capacity of the station, accessibility, safety and passenger experience.
