WORK TO START ON £5.1M LLANDUDNO STATION UPGRADE
Work is currently commencing on the £5.1m project to improve Llandudno Station in North Wales.
Outline design work has already been completed for the planned refurbishment of the station which has benefited from a £3.5m Welsh Government investment including European Regional Development Fund structural funding, £1.5m from the Department for Transport’s National Stations Improvement Programme.
Taith, a legally constituted joint committee of the six north Wales county authorities for the purpose of developing and implementing actions and strategies for transport in north Wales, has contributed £1.4m towards the funding and the Railway Heritage Trust £150,000.
Detailed design work will now commence on the station enhancement which will include a new frontage, ticket office, improved bus facilities and customer information systems.
Network Rail will deliver the scheme on behalf of the Welsh Government. Mark Langman, Network Rail’s Wales Route Managing Director, said: “This very important project to enhance Llandudno station will regenerate and revitalise this area of the town, encouraging locals and visitors to use public transport through the provision of updated and enhanced facilities.
“We are looking forward to completing the project in 2014 and to handing over to Arriva Trains Wales and the local community a station of which they can be proud, as it will improve the gateway to the town and will bring huge benefits to the local economy.”
The new station frontage will be in keeping with the Victorian architecture of the town and provide a more pleasant environment for station users. The new facilities will include a new ticket office and retail outlet designed to meet the Department of Transport’s code for disabled people; the removal and upgrade
of passenger toilets and an upgrade of the station’s concourse areas and customer information systems.
The work will be delivered by Buckingham Group Contactors Ltd using Mott MacDonald as the designer. The project is scheduled for completion by early 2014.
