They are BAM Ferrovial (a joint venture of BAM Nuttall and Ferrovial Construction), Laing O’Rourke Construction, and Mace Dragados (a joint venture of Mace and Dragados S.A., UK branch). The station will be able to handle up to nine high speed trains each hour, and West Midlands Metro trams will run alongside and underneath the terminus. HS2 Ltd said it expects to name the winning contractor next year.
