“We are proud to be able to support STRABAG and HS2 in moving these essential tunnel components by rail to reduce carbon emissions and keep lorries off our busy roads. Trains will run six times a week between Hartlepool and London.Įd Wilson, Commercial Director- Heavy Haul, Freightliner, said: Each train which makes the seven hour journey from Hartlepool to London will remove the need for 40 lorries on the UK’s road network, reducing congestion and carbon emissions. The freight trains, operated by Freightliner, can carry up to 20 segment rings for the tunnels, which will be used to build 38 metres of tunnel. “By using rail to move 83,000 tunnel segments, we will reduce road congestion, cut CO2 emissions by 76 per cent and pave the way to a greener, cleaner future.” From January our two newest TBMs, Emily and Anne, will use the segments to construct the eastern section of the Northolt Tunnel. “The first delivery of tunnel segments from Hartlepool prepares us for a great year of delivery in 2024 on the HS2 London Tunnels project. James Richardson, Managing Director of Skanska, Costain, STRABAG joint venture, said: They were recently lowered into the ground using a 750-tonne crane and blessed by a local priest. The next two Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs), named Emily and Anne, will be launched by SCS JV in the new year. At Greenford, the tunnel will connect to the Northolt Tunnel West, and combined will complete the 8.4-mile tunnel taking HS2 services from Old Oak Common Station to the edge of the capital. The segments will be used to construct the Northolt Tunnel East, a 3.4-mile twin bore tunnel drive from Victoria Road in Acton to Greenford. From there, the segments will be transported to Victoria Road Crossover Box in Acton. HS2’s London tunnels contractor, Skanska Costain STRABAG joint venture (SCS JV), will receive the segments at is London Logistics Hub which is near to Willesden Junction.

The direct access from the factory to the rail network is a huge location advantage that enables us to reduce the number of journeys by lorry and carbon emissions.” “Following on from our multi-million pound investment into Hartlepool, we’re delighted to see the first trains leaving for London. Simon Wild, Managing Director of STRABAG UK, said: Reinstating the rail head demonstrates a commitment to a long term future for the factory, and supports HS2’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact through construction.” “ STRABAG’s investment in Hartlepool is an example of how HS2 is benefiting the UK economy. “As we prepare for the next set of tunnel drives in London, the start of deliveries of these vital parts is a further sign of momentum in the construction of HS2, building between London and the West Midlands. Malcolm Codling, Project Client Director for HS2 Ltd, said: STRABAG are also utilising the local supply chain, sourcing aggregate from local quarries and using UK recycled steel.
