Building Britain's new high-speed railway while keeping road traffic moving. The completion of HS2's twin M6 South viaducts highlights how innovative construction methods can deliver major infrastructure while minimising disruption. mediacentre.hs2.org.uk/news/…

Precision engineering in action! 🏗️ Engineers working on HS2 moved a massive viaduct deck 76 metres in just nine hours, completing a complex operation above the M6 while motorway traffic continued below. mediacentre.hs2.org.uk/news/…

4,750 tonnes of steel, moved into position above one of Britain's busiest motorways. Balfour Beatty VINCI's latest HS2 engineering achievement demonstrates the specialist expertise behind major rail infrastructure. mediacentre.hs2.org.uk/news/…

Another major HS2 milestone! 🚄 Balfour Beatty VINCI has completed the final viaduct launch over the M6 near Birmingham, bringing both 320-metre structures to structural completion. mediacentre.hs2.org.uk/news/…

The Budget’s proposals for Euston are a welcome step forward. As redevelopment plans progress, protecting future provision for HS2 will be essential to making the most of Britain’s high-speed rail investment. rail-leaders.com/industry-ne…

Northern Powerhouse Rail and HS2 must be part of a joined-up national network. Our Budget response highlights why integrating local and national investment is essential to delivering lasting economic benefits. rail-leaders.com/industry-ne…

A clearer infrastructure pipeline gives the rail supply chain confidence to invest in skills, jobs and innovation. Our Budget response calls for greater certainty and more efficient delivery of major projects. rail-leaders.com/industry-ne…

We welcome the October Budget’s recognition of rail’s role in driving economic growth. The priority now is turning commitments into delivery, creating better connections and opportunities across the UK. rail-leaders.com/industry-ne…

Taiwan's rail modernisation plans demonstrate how transport infrastructure and urban development can work together. SYSTRA will bring its engineering expertise to a project supporting future high-speed connections and station regeneration. systra.com/en/news/systra-su…

Integrating conventional and high-speed rail is central to building better-connected transport networks. SYSTRA's latest project in Taiwan will help link five stations to a future high-speed railway. systra.com/en/news/systra-su…

Rail investment can transform more than journeys. In Taiwan, SYSTRA is helping deliver a railway upgrade designed to improve connectivity and support regeneration around five stations. systra.com/en/news/systra-su…

SYSTRA is supporting a major railway modernisation project in Taiwan, connecting five stations with a future high-speed line and helping create new opportunities for urban regeneration. systra.com/en/news/systra-su…

Investing in major transport hubs helps unlock capacity across the wider rail network. Kier's Manchester Airport station remodelling will support future passenger growth while improving the reliability of a vital northern interchange. kier.co.uk/news-and-events/n…

Longer platforms, modernised signalling and upgraded track will help Manchester Airport station accommodate more trains. Kier's latest contract demonstrates the engineering investment needed to create a more resilient railway. kier.co.uk/news-and-events/n…

Greater rail capacity at Manchester Airport will strengthen connections between northern communities and international destinations. Kier's £54m contract is a key part of the station's wider £115m upgrade. kier.co.uk/news-and-events/n…

Kier has secured a £54m contract to remodel Manchester Airport railway station, extending platforms and upgrading infrastructure to support more reliable services and better connections across the North. kier.co.uk/news-and-events/n…

The first new passenger rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River in more than a century is taking shape. WSP's work on the project highlights how investment in new infrastructure can support more resilient intercity rail networks. wsp.com/en-gb/news/2026/wsp-…

From feasibility studies to construction, WSP has supported the Hudson Tunnel Project since 2010. The start of tunnel boring demonstrates the sustained engineering commitment needed to deliver major rail infrastructure. wsp.com/en-gb/news/2026/wsp-…

More reliable rail connections between New York and New Jersey are a step closer. The Hudson Tunnel Project will strengthen one of America's busiest rail corridors, with WSP providing engineering expertise throughout its development. wsp.com/en-gb/news/2026/wsp-…

Construction of a new rail tunnel beneath New York’s Hudson River has reached a major milestone, with tunnel boring underway. WSP is helping deliver infrastructure designed to improve capacity and resilience on a vital passenger corridor. wsp.com/en-gb/news/2026/wsp-…
