Work On North Wales Railway Platform Extension Complete

Construction News Image
The first stage of a railway platform enhancement project has been completed at Abergele and Pensarn Station in Wales.

The scheme at Platform 2 was delivered as part of a £50 million investment to upgrade North Wales' Railway.

A lightweight polystyrene-block solution was used to extend the platform and successfully overcome difficult ground conditions. The platform reopened on Sunday, 12 March.

Further upgrade work is still to be carried out at the station, including the provision of a new waiting shelter and bike racks on Platform 2 and improved LED lighting installed on platform 1. The works are scheduled to be completed by the summer.

The project also includes drainage works and track layout alterations, as well as the commissioning of new signalling equipment on the North Wales Coast from Shotton to Colwyn Bay in spring next year.

Kevin Roberts, senior project manager for Network Rail Wales, said: "The reopening of Platform 2 at Abergele and Pensarn station marks a significant milestone in the work to upgrade the station and forms part of our ongoing North Wales Railway Upgrade Project.

"We now look forward to completing the remaining station enhancements and the continued work to provide greater resilience and reliability on the railway, all part of our Railway Upgrade Plan to provide a bigger and better railway for the growing number of passengers."
