Ipswich Station’s new footbridge

Listen to this article

A new footbridge has been lifted into place at Ipswich Station as part of the £370 million ‘Access for All’ scheme, providing a step-free route between the concourse and all four platforms. Two new lifts fitted with CCTV and telephone links will also be installed, together with tactile paving on the platforms.

To date, 148 stations in England, Wales and Scotland have been selected to receive similar improvements which are being managed and delivered by Network Rail. The facilities at Ipswich are due to be completed by spring 2011. Seven others on the National Express East Anglia network will benefit between now and 2013.
