Funds to improve railway stations

Passenger facilities at railway stations in Grimsby and Cleethorpes will be improved as part of a £350,000 investment.

High tech interactive points providing information on services and a new CCTV network to improve passenger safety will be installed.

A new waiting room and shopping area will be opened at Grimsby Station as well as a refurbished booking area.

The project is due to be completed at both stations by the end of October.

Funding for the overhaul has come from North East Lincolnshire Council and First TransPennine Express.

Councillor Martin Vickers said: "We hope that when fully complete, the new facilities at both stations will make travelling by train an easier and more pleasurable experience for passengers."
