Lanes Group managing director Wayne Earnshaw said: “These contract wins are just rewards for the excellent work our rail division is doing to support our London Underground customers.

“They also reflect the success of our strategy to grow the volume of business we do in the rail industry across all our operations.

“Network Rail has just re-awarded a substantial COOM multi-route drainage maintenance contract to Lanes Group company UKDN Waterflow (LG) for another 18 months.”

The annual turnover of Lanes Group’s rail division is expected to increase by 30% when combined with the other two contracts.

The Bundle 3 Lot 2 contract is scheduled to start next month.

Lanes Rail previously secured the Lot 2 drainage contract for sub-surface lines (SSL) and Bakerloo, Central and Victoria Lines, and had also been re-awarded Lot 3 contracts to maintain structure and drainage assets in Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines.
