London Underground
Bank Station Capacity Upgrade
The fourth busiest station on London Underground (LU)’s network, Bank, required significant capacity upgrades to meet passenger demand.
The Bank Station Capacity Upgrade (BSCU), was a £700m underground station and infrastructure improvement programme to deliver new station platforms, a new ticket hall, new interchange tunnels, step-free access and a commercial office and retail development above the station.
CPC has been involved in this project since 2010, and was appointed as a one of LU’s Delivery Partners to provide project management services to support the design, planning, procurement, governance, and delivery stages of the development.

CPC developed the overall programme and managed the tender development and evaluation process based on the Innovative Contractor Engagement (ICE) model – a challenging task as the tender responses were based on project requirements and business case rather than a traditional client design.
Our collaborative approach was outcome focused and contributed to an improvement in the baseline benefits to cost ratio of 2.1.
Our team has also supported the client to gain planning permission in June 2014, for an £80 million Over Site Development (OSD) retail and office building.
During the construction delivery phase of the programme we supported LU to oversee the delivery of 1,300 metres of new tunnels and a 17-week blockade.
On 27th February 2023, the opening of a new entrance on Cannon Street, marked the official completion of the programme which has delivered 40% more overall capacity, 2x one-hundred-metre moving walkways, 2x new lifts, 12x escalators, new interchanges between lines, step-free access, a new ticket hall and new entrance: https://bit.ly/3SB8Sw0
