Cambridge South Station and Beaulieu Park Station

Murphy is delivering the Cambridge South Infrastructure Enhancements (CSIE) project - a new two-storey, four-platform train station on the West Anglia Main adjacent to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. This will include:

• Ticket vending machines
• Lifts providing step free access to all platforms
• Accessible toilets, baby change facilities, waiting area and space for retail/catering
• Access for pedestrians and cyclists from both sides of the railway with capacity for 1,000 cycle parking spaces
• Modification to roads and crossings to facilitate access to the station

Together with Network Rail’s other integrated delivery partners, Murphy will also modify and enhance the rail infrastructure to support the new station which will include:

• Remodelling of the existing track layout
• Installing two additional track loops to accommodate a four-platform station
• Enhancements to Shepreth branch junction
• Modification to the railway on the southern approach to Cambridge station
• Provision for overhead line electrification infrastructure and a substation
• Modification of existing signalling equipment
• Closure of two private level crossing and provision of alternative access

Works are continuing at pace on the Cambridge South Infrastructure Enhancements (CSIE) project, delivering a new four-platform station to serve Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Works have been progressing to establish the new station footprint on the east and west boundaries of the site. Significant amounts of earthworks have been undertaken to bring the ground to its required level, and both platform 1 and 3 have begun to take shape through the installation of precast concrete units. 

At Beaulieu, Contract 1 includes work to begin construction and enabling work for the new station on behalf of partners Essex County Council and Chelmsford City Council. This phase of the work includes set up of site welfare, earthworks, civils, modifications to track and signalling systems to facilitate the main construction phase of the new facility. Contract 2 includes the main construction work for the new three-platform station alongside associated infrastructure including step-free access to all platforms via two lifts and parking for 700 cars
