As a result the current 40m long x 1.2m wide platform will be extended top 80m long and 1.6m wide to accommodate the new class 755 Flirt trains being introduced on the route later this year The station will be closed from 11 March until 08 May this year to enable the works to take place. This is the largest investment on the Bittern Line since 2000 when re-signalling of the route was undertaken. less

Don't forget - the ACoRP Members' Survey closes at midday on Weds (25th). We're looking for each member CRP or Station Adoption Group to complete it (one per group). If yours hasn't yet, please do so. It's a key tool in ACoRP's planning https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/acorpms19
