Network Rail announced that Warwick railway station will be fitted with lifts and ramps to make it more accessible for all train passengers. The upgrade will see lifts installed on either side of the station giving step-free access on both of its platforms, which are served by Chiltern Railways trains going south to London Marylebone and north to Birmingham Moor Street.
“We are committed to making our customers’ journeys as comfortable as possible and the installation of lifts at Warwick Station is hugely important. It allows more people to easily travel from the station and improves the experience for thousands of visitors to the historic town and its famous castle,” Jenny Payne, customer service director for Chiltern Railways, said.
The ‘Access for All’ improvement, part of Britain’s Railway Upgrade Plan, is set to be completed early in 2019.
