A £2 million project has taken place across South East Wales to refurbish or replace platform shelters at railway stations.

The work predominantly covered the Core Valley Lines as part of a ‘targeted improvement for customers’.

The work has been carried out at more than 60 railway stations, with some designs seeing a combination shelter installed with built in bike storage.

Project Manager Adam Zak said: “This has been a really comprehensive project looking at making targeted improvements for our customers.

“We know that having somewhere safe and suitable to shelter from the elements is so important for customers waiting for a train.

“At Grangetown for instance the old shelter was really just a roof and offered very little protection from the elements. The new one is a real step change for customers.

“The work really improves the look and feel of our stations so this work really fits in with our value of doing the right thing.

“I’d like to thank everyone who has been involved in the work to date and to hope it will really improve the overall customer experience for us.”
