HBPW played a leading role in the successful redevelopment of Eaglescliffe Station, delivering a comprehensive multi-disciplinary design package that transformed accessibility, connectivity and passenger facilities at this important Tees Valley transport hub.
The scheme was developed to address longstanding access constraints at the station while improving connections to the western side of the railway and the neighbouring Durham Lane Industrial Estate.
As lead designer, HBPW was responsible for the civil, structural and geotechnical engineering design of the redevelopment, while also managing and coordinating specialist M&E, Telecoms, E&P and Signal Sighting disciplines delivered through trusted supply chain partners. This collaborative approach ensured the seamless integration of all design elements across the project.
The completed redevelopment includes a new accessible footbridge comprising two spans, providing lift access to all platforms, alongside a new western station entrance, expanded car parking facilities, improved pedestrian links, a new taxi office, upgraded waiting facilities and enhanced passenger amenities throughout the station. The project has significantly improved accessibility for passengers while strengthening connections between the station, local businesses and the wider transport network.
To support stakeholder engagement and project development, HBPW also produced a series of detailed 3D visualisations that helped communicate the proposed transformation and demonstrate the benefits of the scheme throughout the design process.
Officially opened in 2026, the £14.5 million redevelopment has delivered a modern, accessible station that is better equipped to serve passengers, support local economic growth and meet future transport demands across the Tees Valley.
