Exciting news for Tenby! 🎉 A brand-new railway bridge is set to transform access at the historic Warren Street station. Plans for an ‘Access for All’ footbridge have been given the green light, promising easy passage across the tracks for everyone. 🚉
This upgrade will replace the current 1986 structure with a sleek design featuring through lifts, ensuring step-free access between platforms. The bridge will not only blend beautifully with the existing Victorian architecture but also meet modern accessibility standards. ♿️
Currently, wheelchair users have to rely on a barrow crossing, which isn’t ideal. With the new bridge, moving between Platforms 1 and 2 will be smooth and obstacle-free. Although the station is wheelchair accessible, this upgrade aims to fully comply with the Equality Act 2010, enhancing the experience for all passengers. 🚀
Local authorities have granted the necessary approvals without a hitch, as the proposed changes are considered permitted development – meaning less red tape and more action! ✨ Construction is all about conserving the station’s charm while boosting accessibility and efficiency.
At its core, this development is about making travel more inclusive and hassle-free for everyone using Tenby station. The new footbridge is a step towards a more connected and accessible future. Keep your eyes peeled for updates on this transformative project! 🛤️
