London & Continental Railways
In 1996, London & Continental Railways (LCR) was selected by the Government to build and operate High Speed 1 (formerly called the Channel Tunnel Rail Link) and to own and operate the UK arm of the Eurostar international train service.
High Speed 1
HS1 is a major element of the British Government's Private-Public Partnership programme, which enables important infrastructure to be provided for the benefit of the public sector while taking advantage of private sector management and efficiency.
London & Continental Stations and Properties
London & Continental Stations and Property (LCSP) is developing the new international stations on HS1 and is also the property division of LCR.
LCSP has responsibility for the multi-billion-pound regeneration of land around HS1 stations in partnership with developers and in close co-ordination with Government agencies, local authorities and communities. It is also playing a crucial role in enabling the London 2012 Olympics and in delivering homes and jobs in the Thames Gateway.
