A TRAIN operator has helped to revamp stations across the district by installing new shelters.

Northern has installed 100 shelters as part of its Better Stations programme.

During the past 18 months, as well as the shelter installations, Northern has also refurbished 35 waiting rooms, installed improved CCTV at 35 stations and upgraded the public address systems at two stations.

Customer information has also been upgraded with the introduction of 49 new screens.

David Brown, Managing Director at Northern, said: “We made a commitment to improve our stations for customers across the North and we are making significant progress.

“Almost 200 waiting shelters or rooms have been improved or installed giving customers a better environment in which to start or complete their journey.”
