Normal service resumes following Bath Spa station work

Region & Route:: Wales & Western: Western; | Wales & Western

Normal service has resumed at Bath Spa station this morning following 16 days of work.

The work involved widening both platforms, reducing the stepping distance from the train to the platform edge and addressing the curvature of the platforms.

Car parking at the station will continue to be affected until April 30th, though the drop-off point and the blue badge parking spaces will remain open during this period.

Michael Jones, Network Rail’s project manager for the Bath Spa station works, said: “I’d like to thank passengers, residents, and businesses in the city for their patience and understanding as we completed these works.”

About Network Rail

We own, operate and develop Britain's railway infrastructure; that's 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.

Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network. People depend on Britain's railway for their daily commute, to visit friends and loved ones and to get them home safe every day. Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
