Brand new look now destined for station

An electronic customer information system is to be installed as part of work to revamp a Staffordshire railway station.

Hednesford station on the Chase Line is being refurbished as part of the Government's £150 million national stations improvement programme. The 'real time' information system will have electronic information screens and help points. There will also be a new public address system, new waiting shelters, and a new feature entrance and gateway.

London Midlands is also putting in credit card operated ticket vending machines and is looking at whether new lighting can be installed and other repair work included in the project.

A report on the improvements will be presented to Hednesford Town Council on Tuesday by clerk Peter Harrison.
