Proposals to improve access at train station

A PLANNING application for works to make Bridgend railway station more accessible for disabled passengers has been submitted to the council.

The proposal was handed in by Network Rail in May, and will look to provide improved facilities for staff and passengers at the town's Grade II-listed station.

If approved, it could eventually see the installation of a series of passenger assist meeting points or PAMPs, as part of a wider "accessibility improvement scheme".

The dedicated areas would be created for passengers who require extra help when travelling by train, and aim to ensure "travelling by train is accessible, inclusive, safe, and comfortable for all passengers".
