We're excited to see plans to award the contract for the work on South Kensington Station, and pleased to be part of the team making South Kensington accessible for everyone.
@TfL

ALT A quote from leader of Kensington and Chelsea, Elizabeth Campbell saying "“We have campaigned for years for a South Kensington station that is fit for purpose, and we’ve backed that ambition with a significant financial contribution. Full step-free access to every line is essential, and the award of this contract is a major milestone towards delivering the station our residents and visitors deserve. “South Kensington is one of London’s most important gateways, serving world-leading museums, hospitals, universities and businesses. This investment will transform the experience of millions of passengers and make the station accessible for generations to come.”
