National Rail Awards 2024 Major Project Of The Year Winner

16.09.24

Bank Station Capacity Upgrade has been awarded Major Project of the Year 2024.

The Bank Station Capacity Upgrade was a ten year initiative to design and improve access and circulation to make a station fit for 21st Century travel and rising passenger numbers.

The upgrade significantly eliminates congestion at the station and reduces passenger journey times by cutting interchange distances and creating intuitive wayfinding, with clear sightlines and the strategic use of colour blocks supporting signage – making the commute more appealing and creating confidence for new users.

The overall scheme included the creation of a new wider southbound platform for the Northern line; the existing platform has been converted into a concourse in addition to new direct links to the Central line and DLR platforms being provided to ease congestion and provide better connectivity within the station.
