The project is in GWR's programme for design and delivery within this fiscal year 2025. Despite its small size, the station provides essential amenities including a ticket office, waiting shelters, cycle storage, and parking to both the east and west. The existing station building has historical heritage value and is in need of refurbishment to support future passenger growth, improve staff facilities and align with GWR's customer experience standards.
