WORK is continuing to progress on Network Rail’s access for all project at Anniesland Railway Station in Glasgow with the stairs to platform two reopening.
The stairs were closed earlier this year whilst engineers prepared the station for the installation of lift towers, which was successfully undertaken last year.
Colleagues from Scotland’s Railway met yesterday to conduct final inspections of the stairs prior to reopening them. Stairs at platform one and three have been closed since October, with Network Rail set to reopen them when the project is complete later this year.
The access for all programme looks to make it easier for people with impaired mobility or those travelling with luggage, children, or bicycles to travel on Scotland’s railway.
Amanda Naughton, scheme project manager, Network Rail, said, “Following the successful installation of the towers last month, we are delighted to mark continued progress with the reopening of the original stairs at platform two.
“The next phase of work involves the electrical components that will power the lifts being put in place and the brickwork cladding reinstated at the base of each lift tower. The station’s power supply will also be upgraded.
“Thanks to our neighbours and the local community for bearing with us while this essential work is carried out.”
