DUNBAR JOB FOR AMCO

NETWORK RAIL has appointed Amco as the main contractor for £13 million of enhancements at Dunbar station.

The work will create a new second platform, linked by a fully accessible footbridge and lifts. The station, on the East Coast main line, currently has only a single platform, creating operating constraints for stopping trains in the northbound direction, which must cross the southbound line to call.

Detailed design work for the project has begun, with engineering work due to start in the summer and the new infrastructure planned to be completed in early 2020
