The Channel Tunnel Rail Link involved the aesthetic and design brief for all engineering structures on the project, with over 100 bridges and associated structures. The brief included bespoke designs of major high-speed rail crossings at Kings Cross, Ashford, Ebbsfleet and Rochester, plus generic design strategies for other sections of the route.

The rail link is highly visible as it crosses the Kent countryside adjacent to the busy M20, and therefore it was necessary to design a family of details – in essence, a distinctive brand – which could be applied line-wide to create a strong continuity across the many structures.

Bath Spa Railway Station & Transport Interchange

Two projects at Bath demonstrate WilkinsonEyre’s capacity for integrating infrastructure and urban design into the city fabric through long term planning and strategic, coherent design.

East London Line

The East London Line is part of the London Overground orbital network, and forms a cross London route between north and south through a combination of existing infrastructure and reopened rail assets.

Viaduc de la Savoureuse

Part of the Rhin-Rhône high-speed train link, the Viaduct de la Savoureuse crosses the Savoureuse valley between Montbéliard and Belfort.
