Transport for London (TfL) has awarded a contract to deliver step-free access at three stations as part of major station improvements ahead of Elizabeth line services commencing in December 2018. Maryland, Manor Park and Seven Kings stations will become fully accessible. Hochtief will deliver the station improvements, with work on site starting later this summer.
The station improvements will include new lifts, walkways and footbridges to Seven Kings and Manor Park stations. Maryland ticket hall will also be remodelled as part of the improvements to the stations currently served by TfL Rail, which will become part of the Elizabeth line in 2018. Customers at these stations are already benefiting from having staff present from first to last train.
“I’m determined to make London a fairer city, open and accessible to all, and one where we improve the support for those less able to get around London. My team are working on a more ambitious approach to improving step-free access in our stations, and I am very pleased that passengers using Maryland, Manor Park or Seven Kings are going to benefit from major improvements to their stations ahead of the launch of the new Elizabeth line services,” the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said.
