A multi-million-pound investment in Barnt Green Station has been welcomed.
Bradley Thomas, MP for Bromsgrove and the Villages, has welcomed the opening of the new lifts at Barnt Green Station, which has "transformed" access for rail users.
The £7.5 million investment has provided step-free routes to all platforms for the first time, making it significantly easier for passengers to move around the well-used station.
Since they opened, the lifts are helping a wider range of people travel with confidence, including those with reduced mobility, passengers with pushchairs, and those carrying heavy luggage, while also improving the overall flow and convenience of journeys.
As Bradley saw for himself on a recent visit to the station, the scheme has delivered a more inclusive station environment and an improved passenger experience.
Bradley said: "When I was first elected, this is one of the very first issues I picked up as the newly elected MP for Bromsgrove and the Villages. I continually pressed Network Rail to get on and deliver this promised investment – and they have.
"As I saw for myself recently, the new lifts have transformed access at Barnt Green station. I’m pleased this long-awaited investment has improved access for rail users at this incredibly well-used station."
