For the first time, Barnes station in southwest London has been equipped with step-free access to all four platforms. This significant upgrade, part of an £8.3 million programme funded by the Department for Transport's 'Access for All' initiative, enhances the station's safety and comfort with improved lighting, CCTV, new lifts, staircases, and a footbridge. Officially opened on February 7, the upgrades have garnered positive feedback from local officials and transport leaders, highlighting the transformative impact on accessibility for residents and visitors, especially those with mobility challenges.
"Barnes is a vital junction station, where the lines from Hounslow and Richmond converge towards London, and we're delighted that all four platforms are now fully accessible."
"This transformational investment in Barnes station is the latest to make our railway more accessible for customers, particularly those with limited mobility or those with prams or luggage."
