THE footpath and road by Anniesland Railway Station in Glasgow has reopened as Network Rail marks another milestone in its £4 million upgrade of the station.
Both the footpath under the railway bridge, the inside eastbound lane of Great Western Road, and parking bays have been closed since October last year to allow room to bring in the necessary equipment for the installation of new lifts.
The work forms part of Network Rail’s access for all programme, which looks to make it easier for people impaired mobility or those travelling with luggage, children, or bicycles to travel on Scotland’s railway.
Amanda Naughton, scheme project manager at Network Rail, said, “We are delighted to mark continued progress with the reopening of the footpath and inside lane of Great Western Road. We appreciate this has been a big change for passengers and for everyone walking or driving through Anniesland Cross. Thanks to our neighbours and the local community for bearing with us while this work to make the station more accessible is carried out.”
