About the project

Phase 2 included the re-signalling works and construction of a passing loop at Bellarena on the Derry~Londonderry railway line. The signalling upgrades enhanced the hourly services between Derry~Londonderry and Belfast.

Two new platforms were opened at the Bellarena Train Station as part of the works. Other major works included the construction of a platform extension at Castlerock, a new rail passing loop, and installation of cable ducts at Castlerock and the Derry~Londonderry stations.

The works were successfully undertaken during night-time non disruptive possessions to minimise impact on operations.  A limited number of weekend possession were required for the signalling testing and commissioning activities.

ChandlerKBS services included tender evaluation, NEC contract advice and contract administration, change management and final account.
