We also work closely with train operators such as Virgin Trains East Coast (VTEC), Great Western Railway (GWR), CrossCountry Trains (CCT), South Western Railway (SWR) among others to ensure seamless integration between track maintenance works and train schedules.
In addition to maintaining existing infrastructure assets such as tracks and stations across England Scotland & Wales; Network Rail is also involved in developing new projects aimed at improving connectivity between cities within UK & beyond its borders.
One such project is HS2 - High-Speed Two - which will connect London with Birmingham initially before extending further northwards towards Manchester & Leeds by 2033. This project will significantly reduce travel times between these cities while boosting economic growth along its route.
Another major project currently underway is Crossrail - Elizabeth Line - which will connect Heathrow Airport with central London via Paddington Station before continuing eastwards towards Canary Wharf & Abbey Wood by December 2019. This project will increase capacity on London’s transport network by up-to-10% while reducing journey times for commuters travelling from east-to-west or vice versa within Greater London area.
