Teddington station in southwest London has undergone a £5.4 million accessibility upgrade, now featuring lifts on both platforms to ease travel for those who cannot use stairs. Previously, travelers had to walk a significant distance to cross the railway, but the installation of these lifts improves access dramatically. The upgrade was funded by the Department for Transport's 'Access for All' scheme and has been welcomed by local officials as a vital enhancement to public transport in the area. Since opening in 1863, the station has seen significant passenger traffic, emphasizing the need for such improvements.
"With the completion of this project, we've ensured that Teddington station is now fully accessible, allowing everyone to travel with greater ease and convenience."
"The upgrades at Teddington station represent a significant step forward in making our transport system more inclusive and accommodating for all users."
