Bond Street Station
Client: Costain Laing O’Rourke Joint Venture
Overview
The Crossrail Act 2008 gave London Underground permission to carry out works to improve Bond Street Station. The station has undergone a major redevelopment to increase capacity, improve accessibility and create an interchange with Crossrail. More than 160,000 passengers use the station daily. When Crossrail opens passenger numbers are expected to increase to 225,000.
The scheme provided a new station entrance on Marylebone Lane leading to a new ticket hall, new escalators serving the Jubilee line, lifts providing step-free access from street to all platforms and new interchange links between the Jubilee and Central lines and new Crossrail station.
On behalf of the Costain Laing O’Rourke JV, CJ Associates were responsible for discharging planning and heritage conditions and ensuring compliance with commitments contained in Undertakings and Assurances made to affected parties under the Act.
