Network Rail presented the option to build a brand new footbridge, complete with ramps, at a public meeting in Wareham last night. 

The company has offered to support Dorset County Council by funding part of the cost of installing a footbridge.

A plan to expand the electrified network that would increase capacity, improve journeys while reducing costs and carbon emissions was unveiled today in a year-long study published by Network Rail. 

The final electrification route utilisation strategy also confirms the business case for electrifying the Great Western main line, backing government’s funding decision that was announced in July.
