The work will consider typical platform/station spaces, boarding and alighting arrangements, management of passengers on platforms and handling equipment, and for bulk mail and light goods. Additionally, the impact of parcels on train dwell times—especially at intermediate stops—must be thoroughly assessed.

We expect the project to commence no later than late October 2025 and take no more than 6 months to complete. The full Invitation to Tender (ITT) is anticipated to be issued in September 2025. Responses should be submitted in Word or PDF format and should not exceed 6 A4 pages. Supporting visuals or diagrams are welcome if they clarify methodology or risks.
