LSH stays on board with Northern Rail

Northern Rail has extended its estates management contract with Lambert Smith Hampton for a further three years.

LSH will continue to provide lettings, acquisitions and disposals, rent reviews, lease renewals, and financial management and accounting services, as well as advising on station redevelopments.

The work applies to Northern Rail's entire portfolio of 462 stations across the North of England. The overall portfolio covers stations of all sizes, from Manchester Victoria with 20,000 passengers each day, to small rural stops.

John Wasp, transport director in LSH's Manchester office, said: "This is great news for LSH, and continues the long standing relationship we have had with Northern Rail."

Jamie Burles, commercial director of Northern Rail, said: "We provide 2,500 local and regional train services every weekday, serving a population of nearly 15 million passengers. LSH is a trusted partner whose high quality and robust advice has consistently exceeded our expectations and helped us to enhance our stations to deliver more for our customers."
