Production of Option Selection Report for Access for All Facilities at Three Tees Valley Stations

About

South Tees Development Corporation awarded a contract to Northern Rail Ltd for the production of an Option Selection Report (OSR) for the provision of full Access for All facilities at three stations in the Tees Valley: North Road, South Bank, and Redcar Central.

The OSR is a vital input into the bidding process for schemes to be submitted by Northern Rail to the Department for Transport (DfT) and will form part of a submission for funding for the delivery of these schemes.

The stations were selected because South Bank and North Road are the two remaining stations in Tees Valley without step-free access, making them the highest priority, and Redcar Central is a scheme identified in the CRSTS programme where securing additional Access for All funding will enable the identified CRSTS funding to be reallocated to other station enhancements and accessibility improvements.

The contract value is AUD 35,880.
