Crossrail has announced that the £250M contract for its new Paddington station, has been awarded to Costain/ Skanska, the first contract of its £1.5BN cross-capital station building programme, adding that the construction contracts for Farringdon and Whitechapel stations will be awarded later in the year, Building reported this week.
