Murphy lands contract to build £18.6m Soham station
Network Rail has awarded the contract to build Soham’s new railway station to J Murphy and Sons.
Enabling works are expected to begin this autumn to prepare the site for main construction works in 2021.
The £18.6m deal includes:
- Construction of a single 99 metre platform to accommodate four car train services including waiting shelters, lighting, information screens and a public address system,
- Installation of a stepped footbridge across the railway to connect to an existing public right of way, designed for any future installation of lifts for a potential second platform for any scheme.
- Construction of a drop off point and a car park to accommodate 50 vehicles and five spaces for blue badge holders, as well as lighting masts.
- Cycle parking and ticket vending machines on the station forecourt.
Construction is due to be completed by the end of 2021 when Greater Anglia’s Ipswich/Peterborough service will start to serve Soham station.
