Tom Harris MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport, will join Adrian Shooter, Chairman of Laing Rail and Chiltern Railways, to mark the completion of John Laing's £70 million Evergreen II project.

The project, completed on time and under budget, is the first time the DBFT (design, build, finance and transfer) model has been used for a capital works project in the rail industry.

Evergreen II involved the expansion of Marylebone station with two new platforms and additional signalling to increase capacity and improve operating efficiency on the Chiltern Railways line.
