We’re delighted to have made another South Western Railway station more accessible for passengers. Our Rail Team have worked hard over the last year to enhance Walton-on-Thames station for Network Rail, installing a large single span footbridge, with interconnected lifts and stairs to both sides of the station, alongside upgraded lighting, security and station information systems for improved accessibility. The Access for All programme, supported by Network Rail in partnership with the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom and local councils, seeks to remove obstacles and provide an accessible route to and between station platforms across various stations. The completion of this project marks an important step in making rail travel easier for all passengers. Huge thanks to the travelling public for their patience and to everyone involved, including Van Elle, Brendan Keogh, LIGHTNING ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS LTD, Nusteel Structures Limited, Crown Roofing & Cladding Ltd Stannah Group, Concept Security @Butler and Young, Transport Signs, James Mendis, Luke Stride @James Devoir Andrew Beattie, Matt Hewett Marius Avram @Laura O'Callaghan @Tom Faith Lawrence Houghton Matt Smith Matthew Broxholme Simone Wyatt James Tite MCInstCES #AccessForAll #Passengers #Inclusivity #BringingPeopleTogether #RailTravel #RailwayImprovements #Infrastructure #ModernRailwayConstruction

This week we’ve been celebrating Rail Safety Week (24-30 June) alongside the wider industry to help make the railway a safer place for everyone. Our senior leadership team have been busy hosting online briefings, site-based workshops, and undertaking leadership tours. Matthew Broxholme our Rail Operations Director and Matt Wright MSc, BA(Hons), Grad IOSH Head of SHE Rail, visited our Gloucester Station project and shared how we keep safety at the heart of everything we do, including our STOPTHINK! Fundamentals and our safety critical communications training. We also held a Rail Leadership Team stand down afternoon where we discussed our SHE performance and how we can drive and embed our SHE improvements. Thank you to all who have carried out site tours this week and our supply chain teams for helping to ensure everyone working on, and in contact with, our projects can go home safely every day. #RSW24 #AssuredAndSafeDelivery #EveryoneHomeSafeEveryDay #Safety #RailImprovements #SHE #HealthAndSafety #WorkForce #Rail #BringingPeopleTogether
