Statement from Go-Ahead regarding Crossrail franchise award
The Go-Ahead Group is disappointed not to have been awarded Transport for London's Crossrail franchise for which it submitted a joint bid with Keolis (65% Keolis/35% Go-Ahead).
In May, Go-Ahead was awarded the Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern franchise by the Department for Transport and is working hard to prepare for the start of the contract in September 2014. This important and complex franchise will deliver customer improvements and value for money for taxpayers. Go-Ahead's bid team continues to work on other upcoming opportunities.
