Passengers at Kings Langley station will benefit from improved accessibility as Network Rail prepares to deliver a major station upgrade funded through the Department for Transport’s Access for All program.

New figures show that 80 trespass incidents in the West Midlands caused more than 12 days of delays for passengers and cost the railway almost £900,000 in 2025/26.

A passenger train that later became involved in a fatal rear-end collision had stopped after receiving an incorrect Automatic Warning System alert at a green signal, according to an interim report from Britain’s Rail Accident Investigation Branch.
