MP Pleased At Project Being Undertaken By Network Rail in Beverley

He said;

“Last year I was contacted by constituents travelling from Beverley railway station regarding the condition of the footbridge.”

“As a user of train services to and from Beverley, I shared their concerns about the sad state of the station bridge.”

“I contacted Network Rail who are responsible for the overall structure and repair of the bridge. I was pleased to hear that complete refurbishment and maintenance are now being planned.”

“Together with the additional direct services to London now being run out of Beverley it is welcome news that the renewal of this grade 2 listed footbridge will make the train station an even more attractive place to start your journey.”

“I am now seeking people’s views on what other improvements can be made to the station in the future.”
