Alliance wanted for £lbn rail upgrade

摘要

Network Rail is seeking contractors to deliver a £1 billion upgrade of the Edinburgh-to-Glasgow rail link under a radical procurement and delivery system first used by oil giant BP. The rail operator is planning to use the Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme to trial a model where contractors will form a partnership with designers and the client to deliver all station civils, electrification, signalling and track improvements under one 'alliance board'.
