Bond Street Tube station redevelopment up for grabs
Wednesday, 13 January 2010
Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed that it has issued the invitation to tender for the £300m redevelopment of Bond Street Tube station.

The following pre-qualified organisations have been invited to tender:
• Taylor Woodrow / BAM Nuttall joint venture
• Laing O'Rourke / Batchy Soletanche / Costain joint venture
• Balfour Beatty

The selected contractor will deliver an expansion of Bond Street Tube station as well as a step-free link between the Tube station and Crossrail Bond Street station.

The redevelopment will see the station benefit from:
• A new ticket hall on Marylebone Lane, which will increase capacity and provide step-free-access to both the Central and Jubilee lines
• Additional escalators to the Jubilee line
• A new low-level passenger interchange between the Central and Jubilee lines, which will reduce congestion and improve journey times. Passengers will no longer need to travel to the station's mid-level to interchange between these two lines

The closing date for the return of tenders is April 2010.

It is anticipated that a contract will be awarded by summer 2010. Main construction is due to begin in late 2010, with the redevelopment of the station completed in early 2017.
