The construction of a new depot for the high-speed HS2 line

Developed in collaboration with HS2 WSP, Grimshaw, and Grant Associates, it promises to become a key center, creating around 300 jobs.

Opening the market for private railway operators in France

The depot will be equipped with workshops, offices, warehouses, training facilities, and a base for the British Transport Police.

Its functionality extends to servicing the HS2 track and systems during the night when trains are not running.

With connectivity to the East-West Rail (EWR), the depot will have access to heavy equipment and materials, ensuring seamless operation.
