Billinghurst Platform Extension

As part of Network Rail’s MAFA Enhancement portfolio, Barhale Rail were awarded a contract by Network Rail to extend platforms 1 & 2 at Billingshurst Station. This was awarded as part of a competitive bid process via the MAFA framework. The work was undertaken to increase passenger volume in connection with the proposed new class 377 rolling stock coming into use and to accommodate 8 car trains. As part of the main platform extension works there were significant Signalling & Telecoms assets that required upgrading and modifying, including new signalling design, installation and test & commissioning requirements.
