Network Rail has announced that 1,100 tonnes of new tarmac have been laid to improve Fleet station car park.

Fleet station car park before improvementsThe car park covers 3,850 square metres and has an improved drainage system to aid water run-off, new crash barriers and a designated pedestrian route that runs down to the nature reserve.

Previously, rail passengers had to park on an uneven surface which was prone to mud and rain.

Work took place between 15 and 23 February to coincide with the half-term holidays.

Improvements to the car park at Fleet station were completed 24 hours ahead of schedule.

What did the officials say?

Mark Killick, Network Rail Wessex route director, said:
