Construction of a new footbridge and lifts at Coulsdon South station has been completed by Network Rail, alongside the installation of platform edge tactile paving and upgrade to the station power supply.
This work forms part of the Department for Transports funded Access for All programme which aims to provide obstacle free, accessible routes to and between platforms.
More than £300m of funding has been secured to continue with the Access for All Programme over the next five years.
Key efficiencies were gained through re-designing the footbridge to lessen the amount of steelwork needed and the need to re-locate the taxi building.
This is a brilliant investment in our community - and one the three Coulsdon Town councillors fully support.
