Station to station

Wrightstyle has added to its transport portfolio by supplying a range of systems for five new Crossrail stations across London.

The company is supplying to Bond Street, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Whitechapel and Woolwich stations on what will become the Elizabeth Line.
The systems include blast-rated curtain walling, structurally glazed screens, and fire-rated and ballistic screens.

The line is expected to fully open at the end of 2018 and will increase London’s rail capacity by 10% when it is fully operational.

The £14.8 billion Elizabeth Line will have 40 stations, including ten new stations, with up to 24 trains running each hour in both directions on its 100km route.

In Whitechapel station, Wrightstyle was contracted by Kilnbridge to fabricate, supply and install a range of curtain wall screens for the station’s new ticket hall on its mezzanine level.

“Crossrail is the largest construction project in Europe and has been designed to provide passengers with the safest-possible travelling environment,” John Woodcock, Wrightstyle’s contracts manager, said.

“That’s why our systems have been specified across the new line because we have enormous experience in the sector, and our international testing regime provides absolute assurance on the strength and compatibility of both our glazed and framing components.”
