Passengers and residents in the Selhurst area are invited to a drop-in session to find out more about the upcoming Access for All station improvement project.
Network Rail is installing three new lifts at Selhurst station, making access between the station entrance, ticket office and platforms much easier for customers with reduced mobility, as well as those with children, heavy luggage or shopping.
Work on the £3.5m investment will start on 8 April 2019, with the project finishing in November 2019.
A public information session will be held in the Youth Hall of the Croydon SDA Church, 95 Selhurst Road, between 16:30 and 19:30 on 20 March 2019. Anyone with any questions about the project and how it will impact the local area is welcome to attend.
Hodan Hassan, project sponsor for Network Rail, said: “Step-free access at Selhurst will benefit the millions of passengers who use the station each year and we’re really pleased to be getting started with the delivery of this important project. We look forward to meeting as many passengers and residents as possible at our public event, so they can find out how our work may affect them.”
Selhurst station sits on the Victoria to Brighton line and serves over a million and half passengers a year. Currently passengers with mobility issues need to travel to Thornton Heath, the nearest accessible station.
