Central Rail Systems Alliance
The Central Rail Systems Alliance (CRSA) is an alliance between Network Rail, Balfour Beatty, Atkins and TSO. These individual entities are working in synergy to deliver a 10-year, £1.5 billion contract, in order to make a lasting positive impact on the UK track renewals industry and improve the railway for freight and passengers alike. Over the next 10 years the alliance will work to improve passenger journeys through its projects, which includes next generation track improvement.
The CRSA is an ongoing & high-volume track renewals programme, where the alliance is responsible for the development, design and delivery of all track renewals and crossings, as well as associated infrastructure works across the London North West, London North East and East Midland routes.

Sella Controls - HS2
SELLA CONTROLS to undertake the complete design, including equipment selection, engineering, implementation, factory integration testing, installation and commissioning of eleven independent BMS SCADA applications. The project commenced in August and will run through to the completion of Skanska Costain Strabag JV’s main works program once all of the installations have been handed back to HS2.
The BMS SCADA system will be designed to interface and integrate with Ventilation Systems, LV Power Distribution, Portal and Ventilation Shaft Utilities and Fire Systems. This will require a significant level of stakeholder engagement with other design and delivery teams from multiple sub system suppliers as well as interfacing with HS2 to deliver one common solution.
Network Rail -Works Delivery
Track and Infrastructure Upgrades: This includes renewing and maintaining track, signalling, and other vital infrastructure to enhance the safety and efficiency of the rail network.
Station Improvements: Upgrading stations to accommodate increasing passenger demand, improve accessibility, and enhance the overall customer experience.
Electrification Projects: Expanding electrified routes to reduce reliance on diesel and improve the environmental sustainability of the network.
Signalling Modernisation: The installation and upgrading of signalling systems to improve network capacity and reduce delays.
Safety and Reliability Enhancements: Measures to improve the overall safety and reliability of services, including replacing aging equipment and introducing more advanced technologies.
Capacity Expansion: Addressing bottlenecks in the network to support more frequent and faster services, particularly in busy areas like London and the surrounding commuter lines.
Projects
Automated Train Control
The Automated Train Control (ATC) project is a collaboration between Transport for London (TfL) and Thales to modernise and automate London’s rail network, enhancing safety, efficiency, and capacity.
Project Scope:
- Automated Train Operation (ATO): Automates train movements (acceleration, braking, stops) to reduce manual control.
- Signaling Systems: Installs advanced Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) for optimized train spacing and smoother operations.
- Network Efficiency: Increases capacity by reducing train headways and enabling more frequent services.
- Safety: Incorporates Automatic Train Protection (ATP) to ensure speed compliance and prevent accidents.
- Integration: Works with TfL’s existing infrastructure (Underground, Overground) for seamless, improved performance.
Four Lines Modernisation
The Project requirements were for the total renewal and upgrade of signal and service control systems on the 4 Lines Modernisation (4LM) network. Primary purpose being for upgraded railway to operate with a peak service of 32 trains per hour (TPH) in the central areas.
The 4LM Programme is for London Underground Ltd (LUL), consisting of the modernisation of Sub Surface Rail (SSR), Automatic Train Control (ATC), Signal and Control Systems on the Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City, District and Circle lines to increase capacity and reduce journey times along the lines.
Scope of Work
- Detailed intrusive Surveys including CAT scanning
- Wayside equipment Survey and mark up for design
- SelTrac and Legacy signalling equipment Installation Trackside
- Installation of SelTrac and Legacy signalling equipment in Signal Equipment Rooms, Electrical Switch Rooms and Interlocking Machine Rooms
- Equipment delivery by Trains into ESRs and SERs
- Complex lifting of equipment into SERs and ESRs
- SelTrac and Legacy signalling equipment Installation of Depots to Sidings
- Interfaces and Coordination with Others
- Deliverable Documents

Heathrow
Terminal 2
The redevelopment of Heathrow Terminal 2 (also known as the Queen's Terminal) was a major project aimed at modernising and expanding the terminal to improve capacity, efficiency, and passenger experience. The project was part of a broader effort to enhance the airport's infrastructure to meet increasing demand for air travel.
Scope of the Redevelopment:
New Terminal Building: The project involved constructing a state-of-the-art terminal building with modern facilities, including check-in areas, lounges, baggage handling systems, and retail spaces.
Passenger Experience Improvements: The redevelopment focused on improving the passenger journey, offering more space, better signage, and enhanced facilities like dining options, shops, and customer services.
Increased Capacity: The redevelopment aimed to significantly increase the terminal's capacity, enabling it to handle up to 20 million passengers annually. This was achieved through a larger and more efficient layout, with an expanded check-in area and new boarding gates.
Sustainability: The redevelopment incorporated sustainable design features, such as energy-efficient systems, water conservation measures, and low-carbon materials, aligning with Heathrow's environmental goals.
Advanced Technology: The terminal also integrated advanced technologies, including automated check-in kiosks and biometric identification systems for faster and more seamless passenger processing.
Enhanced Security: Modern security systems were introduced, allowing for more efficient and streamlined security checks.
Project Value £2.5 billion
Crossrail
Cossrail, now the Elizabeth Line, is a major rail project providing a new east-west route across London, improving connectivity and reducing travel times. It links areas from Reading and Heathrow in the west to Essex and Abbey Wood in the east, boosting capacity and efficiency.
Scope:
- New Railway Line: A 118 km (73-mile) line, with underground and surface sections, connecting key locations like Paddington to Liverpool Street.
- Stations and Infrastructure: 10 new stations (e.g., Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Canary Wharf) and upgrades to existing ones, designed to handle high passenger volumes.
- Railway Tunnels: 42 km (26 miles) of tunnels through central London to reduce congestion on the Underground.
- Rolling Stock: A fleet of new, state-of-the-art trains for faster, more efficient services.
- Capacity and Connectivity: Designed to carry up to 200 million passengers annually, increasing network capacity by 10% and improving connections to major transport hubs, including Heathrow
Project Value £18.9 billion
