Crossrail tender launched

Network Rail has issued a tender for Crossrail at Acton in West London that is hoped to improve reliability and passenger services as well as allowing more freight to be moved by rail. The tender is for work to redesign part of the Acton freight sidings, giving freight trains easier access to Crossrail and in turn allowing passenger trains quicker access through the area. Crossrail is due to begin operating in 2017 and run from Maidenhead in the west to Abbey Wood to the east of London. The project has been progressing well and work is well underway at main terminus like Paddington Station www.crossrail.co.uk
