Crossrail today announced its intention to award the main construction contract for C520 Custom House station to Laing O'Rourke Construction Ltd. In line with European procurement rules the contract is subject to a ten-day standstill period.
The new Crossrail Custom House station, located in east London, is the only above ground station within Crossrail's central section.
Roger Robinson, Laing O’Rourke’s CEO Europe said "We are delighted to secure another key part of the Crossrail network, further demonstrating Laing O’Rourke’s extensive rail infrastructure delivery capabilities."

It will not only assist with the continued regeneration of the Royal Docks but also improve links between central London and the ExCeL Exhibition Centre. When Crossrail opens, passengers will be able to reach Canary Wharf in 4 minutes, Bond Street in 17 minutes and Heathrow Airport in less than 45 minutes.
