PROJECT MANAGEMENT


i Above: West Island Line.


This followed the opening in 2009 of Line 4 of the Beijing Subway, a high intensity, high quality system which carries one million passengers a day and runs at 99% punctuality, built and run by a joint partnership including MTR.


In London, the successful Crossrail franchisee will also need to work with Crossrail, Network Rail and TfL to oversee the fi nal stages of the commissioning of an entirely new railway, with 42 kilometres of new tunnels and nine new stations.


Based on our experience we know delivering this ambitious project, and others upcoming in the UK, on time and on budget is achievable with good project management, stakeholder relations and a partnership approach.


Jeremy Long is CEO of European Business for MTR Corporation – the Hong Kong headquartered international railway and property company. In recent years, MTR has expanded internationally, with operations in Europe, mainland China and Australia. In Europe, MTR are co-owners of the London


Overground concession operated for TfL, and are the operator of the Stockholm Metro System in Sweden.


Long was formerly managing director of FirstGroup Rail Division, and was founder and chief executive of GB Railways Group plc.
