Contractor Osborne is believed to have landed the project to redevelop Twickenham station as part of a double project win for developer Solum.

The firm is also is pole position for the second phase of Walthamstow Station’s redevelopment for Solum – a development joint venture between Network Rail and Kier.

The bigger Twickenham station scheme has been on the cards for many years, originally due to be completed in time for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, but hit by delays.

This morning Kier, which sold its stake in Solum to Capco two years ago but retained its interest in both Walthamstow and Twickenham, revealed work would start at both sites in April.

The Twickenham scheme will provide a new gateway to the town centre, with 115 new homes along with shops and restaurants built around a new public plaza.
