📋 Tender Overview
Newly Upgraded Platforms At Hillington West Station Will Fully Reopen This Sunday Following The Completion Of A Major Ps2.9 Million Improvement Project. The Work Involved The Demolition And Reconstruction Of Both Platforms, Delivering A Smoother Surface And Better Drainage. The Upgrades Aim To Improve Safety And Create A More Modern, Accessible, And Welcoming Environment For Passengers. Delivered By Network Rail In Partnership With Principal Contractor Amcogiffen, The Project Was Carried Out Over Six Months.

Passengers Will Notice A Big Difference With The Platforms Looking Refreshed And The Station Feeling Its Best.
