Crossrail has confirmed its intention to award the £30m contract for the Paddington New Yard to Costain.

The contract includes the construction of a new 180m long elevated bus deck which will connect to Westbourne Park Bus Garage, the relocation of an existing concrete batching plant, and preparatory works for the installation of new rail track and associated systems for Crossrail in Paddington New Yard.

The site is located between the Westbourne Park Tube station and Paddington National Rail station and contains both the Royal Oak Portal and Westbourne Park Crossrail worksites.

Prior to Crossrail, Paddington New Yard was used for the maintenance and overnight stabling of buses.

Costain fought off competition from Hochtief and Kier Infrastructure to land the deal.
