A stop on the busy Glasgow to Edinburgh line is now much easier to access
The North Lanarkshire station now offers step-free access for people with impaired mobility and those travelling with luggage, children or bikes to access the platforms with ease.
As part of a £3.1m investment, a new footbridge takes station users from the entrance over the railway while lifts are in place to take them down to platform level.said: “We are delighted to have completed this investment in Croy station and the new bridge will make the railway easily accessible to even more people in the local community."
Works were carried out by STORY on behalf of Network Rail and, while the project was ongoing, around £400 of materials were donated to help renovate local charity space, the Croy Community Hub.Brian O’Hare, Contracts Manager for STORY Scotland, said: “The team worked around the clock to complete the scheme to improve access at Croy station.
“Collectively we are proud to deliver such an important upgrade which gives residents and passengers the availability of new lifts and a footbridge, meaning that disabled and wheelchair users; the elderly; families with prams and pushchairs; and the many others who find it difficult to access the railway, will have a much safer and easier time now.
“In addition to the engineering works, we were also able to put our Story motto of ‘Doing It Right’ into action, working with the Croy Community Hub charity.”
