Tim Shaw, Head of Solum commented: "This mixed-use residential scheme has been a long time in the making. It has proved it is possible to deliver regeneration above the live railway. We are delighted to have opened the new train station and public realm which look fantastic and offer the travelling public a state-of-the-art rail facility, much improving and upgrading the previous outdated facility. We are also pleased to have completed the sale of the final two residential blocks to Meadow Partners, completing our part in re-vitalising and regenerating this important part of Twickenham."

Robin Dobson, Group Property Director for Network Rail Property added: "We are proud to have delivered through our Solum Joint Venture the regeneration of the station and new customer facilities centred around a new mixed-use residential development and town square. and to now be completing the sale of the final phase to Meadow Partners.

"It's a project that demonstrates the pivotal role the railway can play in unlocking development sites which deliver growth, putting transport infrastructure at the very heart of the development.

"We're delivering it through a public and private partnership, an approach we are replicating in other towns and cities across the country. It will provide long-lasting benefits for the local community and the region."
