Improving existing rail infrastructure is essential to getting more from our national network. The £27.8m Dolphin Junction scheme demonstrates how targeted investment at busy junctions can reduce bottlenecks and strengthen connections between regions. networkrailmediacentre.co.uk…

Reliable railways depend on investment in the infrastructure that keeps them moving. Replacing ageing points, improving track layouts and upgrading overhead line equipment at Dolphin Junction will help deliver smoother, more dependable journeys. networkrailmediacentre.co.uk…

Around 400 passenger trains and more than 100,000 passengers pass through Dolphin Junction every day. Upgrading this busy junction will help trains move more efficiently, delivering better performance across the Great Western network. networkrailmediacentre.co.uk…

A £27.8m upgrade to Dolphin Junction in Slough will help reduce congestion and improve reliability on the Great Western Main Line. Network Rail's investment will modernise a vital link between London, the South West and Wales. networkrailmediacentre.co.uk…

Decisions made during railway construction can affect maintenance and performance for decades. Costain argues that sharing knowledge across design, construction and operation can improve efficiency, strengthen resilience and maximise long-term benefits. costain.com/insights/2026/ho…

Rail investment should reflect the needs of the communities it serves. Costain makes the case for closer collaboration between regional authorities and infrastructure partners to align transport improvements with local economic priorities. costain.com/insights/2026/ho…

Rail infrastructure is about more than building new lines. It is about connecting communities, supporting growth and delivering lasting value. Costain argues that collaboration across the supply chain is essential to achieving these outcomes. costain.com/insights/2026/ho…

Better rail delivery starts with better collaboration. Costain highlights how bringing clients, designers and contractors together around shared objectives can reduce duplication, improve productivity and deliver greater value for money. costain.com/insights/2026/ho…
