INCREASING THE TRAFFIC CAPACITY OF LONDON EUSTON STATION - TRACK AND ELECTRIFICATION SYSTEMS
The Euston Station terminus of Railtrack's West Coast Main Line (WCML) has been upgraded and enhanced to cater for the proposed overall increased capacity of the route and the greater diversity of trains using the route. This increased capacity has been achieved by modifying the track layout and enhancing the electrification system in conjunction with a new signalling system. The project was one of the most complex ever undertaken at an operational station. This paper discusses the track remodelling and the impact of this on the electrification system in the light of the increased capacity requirements. The paper concludes that it is practical to design and implement an increased capacity scheme, whilst complying with standards and continuing to provide an operational railway.
