A multi-million-pound upgrade to Theale Railway station is due to begin this year, with plans set to include:

West Ealing station has become step-free after lifts opened to customers yesterday (Thursday 25 March) providing step-free access from street to platform.

Passengers are set to see a temporary new-look inside of Bristol Temple Meads station from this weekend (27 and 28 March) following the installation of scaffolding towers ready for the roof restoration to kick off this spring.

Businesses in Bristol will benefit from a £10.2m upgrade of Bristol Temple Meads station with much of the money set to be spent on local companies.

Plans to extend a rockfall shelter that will protect the only railway line into the south west for the next 100 years, have today (Friday 19 March) received confirmation of government funding.

Communities and passengers in Devon are to benefit from the reopening of the railway between Okehampton and Exeter as a result of the Government’s ‘Restoring your Railway’ initiative.

• Station improvements completed by Network Rail also include new ticket office, gatelines and customer information screens
• Large, modern ticket halls and new lifts at West Ealing and Ealing Broadway stations due to be ready for customers shortly
