Cllrs Jake, Jill and Chris are pleased to announce that Carshalton Station will be receiving some significant improvements, as part of Govia Thameslink Railway’s (GTR) #ImprovingYourStations campaign.
The improvements will include enhanced cycle parking, landscaping, improved seating and signage. It will also include repainting the waiting rooms and improvements to in-station toilet floors. They will be installed over the next few months.
The changes, lobbied for by Cllrs Jake, Jill and Chris on behalf of local residents for quite some time have come about as a result of GTR’s Passenger Benefit Fund which looked for improvements to local stations from the general public and local councillors.
Cllrs Jake, Jill and Chris are thrilled to see GTR investing in our local station, following on from a major project to make the station step-free by installing lifts last year.
Cllrs Jake, Jill and Chris are determined to continue lobbying for improvements to local transport. Even as our train stations receive a much needed refresh, they are concerned by the Conservative Government continuing to put party politics ahead of delivering services via Transport for London in our area.
