TWO LIFTS AND NEW FOOTBRIDGE ADDED

- By VICTORIA SHIPP

Station's £6.2m upgrade project now completed

A £6.2MILLION upgrade of Leatherhead station has been finished, making travel better for passengers.

Network Rail has installed two new lifts and a footbridge, making it easier for wheelchair users, those with limited mobility or travelling with heavy luggage, bicycles and pushchairs to use the station.

Leatherhead was already considered to be step-free, but to avoid stairs, passengers needed to deal with long, steep and difficult routes out of the station and under a railway bridge to switch between platforms.

Work on the new station footbridge and lifts, which are each big enough for 16 people, began in January 2024. It now provides step-free access to each platform.
