The new contract will build on the global professional services firm’s existing programme management with Nexus and see it continue to work services across the transport authority’s Metro Futures, Metro Flow and infrastructure programmes.
Metro Futures is a major £500 million programme to modernise the busiest and most frequent light rail network outside of London to help deliver long term social and economic benefits for the North East.
The Metro Flow project is a £100 million track dualling scheme in South Tyneside to further enhance Metro services and boost capacity to provide an extra 24,000 customer journeys every day.
The capital delivery programme will upgrade and renew current infrastructure within the Nexus Service including Tyne Dock in South Shields, Ferry Landings in North Shields, Tanners Bank in North Shields and Christon Road in Gosforth.
