The project also involves the reformation of entrance and exit points to improve access to and from the station.
Under the contract awarded to Balfour Beatty Rail, the company will provide detailed design, installation, testing and commissioning work for the track remodelling.
The redesign of the tracks, platforms and station will allow an increase of train frequency from 16 to 24 per hour.
The project is due to commence in 2013 and is scheduled for completion in 2018.
