Twickenham station revealed its new entrance today nine years after re-development talks began.
It comes after a survey by National Rail showed just 34% of customers felt they were getting value for money with ongoing strikes and delayed journeys at Twickenham Station.
Head of Solum, the partnership managing the project, Tim Shaw said: “We would like to thank engers and residents once again for their patience as we have undertaken these critical improvement works which will radically transform journeys.”
The t deal between Network Rail and Kier Property first has provided step-free access to all platforms, 250 new cycle spaces, more walking room for engers and an enhanced queuing system for match days.
The £60m scheme also aims to build 115 new homes along with shops, restaurants and a new public plaza.
Although unfinished, at least residents can look forward to better accessibility than the station previously offered.
