Train station redevelopment on track
Work starts this month on a near £2m redevelopment of Leamington Spa station forecourt, which is due to be ready in time to welcome thousands of Commonwealth Games visitors in July.
The refurbishment of the station entrance and pedestrian underpass include enlarged and upgraded public spaces and new seating areas, better links within the station forecourt area for pedestrians and cyclists, and improved bus connectivity, with dedicated bus bays and widened access to bus stops on Old Warwick Road.
Other improvements include a secure cycle hub facility near to the station’s main entrance.
Cllr Andrew Day, leader of Warwick District Council, said: “Our beautiful station is getting the investment it needs to become an integrated transport hub, making it easier for us all to get around, using public transport and other modes of active travel. What a wonderful Commonwealth Games legacy that will be, one that we’ll be building upon as we take forward wider plans for the regeneration of Royal Leamington Spa.”
