In September, the UK Department for Transport (DfT) announced its intension to restart electrification work on the TransPennine and Midland Mainline (MML) railway lines.

"Since the half year, we have secured contracts, preferred bidder positions and framework agreements that are expected to be worth around £1.7bn."

Both the projects were suspended in June, to review NR’s capital programme for the 2014-2019 funding period (Control Period 5) due to cost overruns on several major projects.

In addition to the infrastructure projects with Network Rail, Carillion has also secured various construction contracts worth £311m in the UK.
