AHR’s Farringdon Crossrail station has become the first on the central London section of the route to reach a handover landmark – a week after the railway was handed a £825m bailout by the government.
Farringdon has been given a T-12 rating, meaning the station is substantially complete and is now considered to be 12 weeks away from being ready for handover to Transport for London (TfL).
Work at the station, which has been built by a Bam, Ferrovial and Kier (BFK) joint venture, will now focus on the testing and commissioning of systems. The BFK team has now begun demobilising ahead of the handover process.
