Jarvis on track
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.JARVIS, the construction and property group, is to buy a track renewals train for pounds 6m as part of the West Coast Main Line upgrade. The first high-output railway track-laying machine in the UK, which removes old sleepers and rails and replaces them four times faster than the conventional method, would be financed through an operating lease, Jarvis said.
Railtrack's pounds 2.1bn upgrade of the West Coast Main Line is expected to begin during 2000 after Jarvis's new machine arrives in the UK next year to undergo trials.
