Network Rail is inviting residents to find out more about improvements to Hebden Bridge railway station as part of the Great North Rail Project.
Network Rail is carrying out a series of improvements to Hebden Bridge railway station, including upgrades to track and signalling and a platform extension, as well as work which will improve passenger experience at the station, such as an extension to the car park and the installation of lifts on platforms one and two, which will offer improved access.
For anyone wishing to find out more about the improvements, Network Rail is holding a public drop in event on Monday, 11 June between 15:45 – 18:15 at Hebden Bridge Town Hall to allow those living in the area to find out more about the work, with Network Rail representatives on hand to answer any questions.

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.
