Pyeroy painting a better future for Victoria Station

A famous London railway station is to get a new lick of paint from a North East firm.

Gateshead-based industrial services group Pyeroy has been awarded a £2 million contract to provide re-painting services as part of the refurbishment of Victoria Railway Station.

Pyeroy will be responsible for the re-painting of the roof and lower level canopies.

The area to be re-roofed covers eight platforms, communication boards, and an entrance to the London Underground.

The work is expected to begin soon with completion scheduled for February 2010, and the station will remain open throughout.

Victoria Station is a Grade II listed hub railway station and has around 350,000 pedestrians passing through on a daily basis.

Created by the combination of two stations serving the former London Brighton South Coast (LBSCR) and South East and Chatham (SECR) railways it has undergone a number of extensions and modifications over the years.

The work to be carried out at Victoria by Pyeroy follows the company’s recent success in winning a refurbishment contract on Blackfriars Bridge, as well as undertaking repainting works on Tower Bridge and Southwark Bridge.
