Thank you to Rail Minister, Huw Merriman, for meeting with me and Cllr John Cope at Walton Station to celebrate the new footbridge with lifts, funded by the Government’s £390 million ‘Access for All’ scheme.
The new footbridge will significantly increase accessibility at the station by enabling those in a wheelchair, with a pram, or those with heavy luggage easily travel across both platforms. The bridge is set to be open for public use in the next few weeks.
Our Plan for Esher and Walton constituency includes securing better station facilities, so it is fantastic news that improvements have been made at Walton Station. There’s still more to do across the area – we have submitted a bid for the same to be built at Esher Station. You can read more here.
