Charfield Station New Build: Enabling an attractive alternative to car travel

Charfield is among a host of new railway stations nationwide being built by local authorities to meet their transformative regional transport needs. With South Gloucestershire Council leading on the scheme, Octavius is working on behalf of Network Rail and alongside Great Western Railway to deliver the project.

South Gloucestershire village, Charfield, sits on the Bristol to Gloucester line and has been without a railway station for 60 years. This project will bring that to an end and is being funded by the Department for Transport’s City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement for the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority.

What our clients say about us

"As part of a value engineering exercise, Octavius proposed the opportunity to deliver an uncovered footbridge structure, to make the project more affordable in the face of increasing material costs and affordability challenges. Octavius and design partner Arcadis produced a proposal that was better value for money and saved on embodied carbon. These benefits helped Network Rail and the DfT make an informed decision on the derogation application and proceed with this solution betterment."

"Thank you for the work over the last few months and especially in the last few weeks to ensure that you had a well organised operation set up over the Christmas period for the OHLE works in Swindon. The team worked hard to achieve an early completion… Please pass on my thanks to the wider team."
