WSP has played a significant role in developing many signature commuter and regional rail projects across the UK, including High-Speed 2, Great Western Modernisation, Northern Hub, Crossrail and Thameslink. Working with our clients and partners, we are helping UK industry to reduce costs, improve efficiency, enhance performance and increase the capacity of the railway in line with a changing demand profile.

A recognised industry leader, we offer comprehensive consulting services for the specification, design, installation, testing and maintenance of the UK railway. We provide the full range of comprehensive planning and development, design, programme and construction management services for the complete rail project lifecycle. For example, as the lead design organisation and systems integrator on the Great Western route modernisation programmes, WSP is delivering multi-disciplinary engineering to take these complex and vast rail enhancement schemes from development, to entry, into service.

We provide strategic advice that supports the success of rail projects, from high-speed rail systems to mainline railways, through to metro and freight. Combined with our expertise in complex buildings and linear infrastructure, we have the know-how, adaptability and responsiveness that the public and private sector requires to meet challenging rail programmes in a variety of delivery environments.
