Rail station chosen to trial upgrade of facilities

work starts at five trial stations at Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury; Cattal, near York; Moston, Manchester; Adlington, Chorley; and Cramlington, Northumberland. A selection of waiting shelters, customer information points, benches and samples of the waiting shelter refurbishment will be installed. Paul Barnfield, regional director (East) for Northern, said: “The work at Cattal and Ravensthorpe will give our customers in Yorkshire the chance to see some of the proposed new features actually out there on the network. “Cattal will benefit from the replacement of the existing waiting shelters, as well as new seating, while customers at Ravensthorpe will get fully refurbished waiting shelters as well as improved customer information.” Work is scheduled to be completed at the trial stations early next month.
