“I want to ensure these stations remain well-maintained assets for future generations, and as a result, we’ll be continuing to staff these locations,” Mr Constance said. “We also want to think outside the square as to how these stations and available space could be better utilised for the whole community, whether it’s for rail heritage, coffee shops or meeting rooms. There are boundless opportunities to ensure these regional stations are not just transport hubs to get from A to B, but a hub that the whole community can enjoy. Customers can be reassured that there will be no changes to train and coach timetables at these stations.”
Mr Constance said security would also be enhanced at the stations, with new CCTV cameras and/or Customer Help Points providing 24/7 assistance.
