Arup are at the forefront of transformative rail around the world, helping shape tomorrow’s sustainable travel. Rail projects demand a complex mix of skills and insights – from initial strategy and economics, through to engineering, people-centred design, operations and asset management. Success depends on bringing all these elements together – brilliantly. That’s why our technical expertise is always backed by sharp strategic thinking, whether we’re optimising existing assets and services, or designing whole new railways and stations. We work for a great range of UK based and International public sector and private sector clients including Network Rail, DfT, Great British Railways, HS2 Ltd, TOCs / FOCs and Local Authorities on a wide range of rail-based solutions.
