Network Rail and its contractor, Kier, will deliver the upgrades between now and 2028. The investment includes:
- Platforms 1, 2 and 3 extended to allow more trains to serve them
- Upgrades to track layouts on the approach to the station
- Signaling systems for trains upgraded and modernized
- For future rail passengers, the upgrades will create additional capacity, support more trains and help deliver more reliable and efficient journeys
