Plans Unveiled To Develop Footbridge At Royston Station
Network Rail has unveiled plans to build a new £3.5m accessible footbridge at Royston station.
Installing the new footbridge will bring back a direct pathway between the two platforms, and two new lifts will provide a vital step-free route.
This will make it easier for passengers to use the station, without needing to use Old North Road.
The new plans were announced at the station this morning, where representatives from Network Rail, Thameslink and Great Northern were joined by Sir Oliver Heald, MP for North East Hertfordshire. He said: "I welcome this announcement which will greatly benefit Royston passengers, in particular families and those with limited mobility. It will be a huge improvement."
Jonathan Ham, Lead Portfolio Manager for Network Rail said: "People in Royston will no longer need to use a diversion to simply switch platforms at the station – and the new lifts will help everybody have the confidence to use the station independently.
"I'd like to thank passengers for bearing with us while we worked on these plans, and I'm looking forward to seeing the new bridge come to life this year."
