Coulsdon South train station could soon benefit from part of a £30million upgrade.

Network Rail engineers will soon submit a planning applications for lifts and other accessibility improvements for the station.

Network Rail’s route managing director for the south east, John Halsall said: “These improvements will make travelling by train much easier for people with reduced mobility, people with buggies, bags and bikes, and they will make a real difference to how people get around.

"Train travel should be for everyone, and while there are historic reasons as to why not all our stations are accessible, we remain focussed on making improvements to as many as we can.

“We’ll now be working closely with local authorities, passengers and neighbours to take these designs and make them a reality.”

Improvements will includes lifts and footbridges and the designs will be submitted to Croydon Council this autumn. It's anticipated the works will be completed within the next two years, if planning permission is granted.
