High speed hopes for Mott MacDonald
The engineering consultancy Mott MacDonald has been appointed as the engineering advisor to High Speed Two, the group charged with formulating plans for Britain’s high speed network.
Tony Walker, Mott MacDonald’s project manager said, “We are delighted to be awarded this project which is a great opportunity to be a part of the development of high speed rail in the UK.
“It provides our younger engineers the experience they will need to get the maximum advantage to develop the skills they and the UK will need to deliver high speed rail in the future.”
The progression of the high speed rail project would be great news for rail jobs, at a time when other rail projects are facing cuts.
