£53m Gatwick train station upgrade announced
13.10.10
A £53m scheme to redevelop Gatwick Airport railway station has been unveiled. It involves creating a new platform and refurbishing the concourse, as well as upgrading the track and signaling. Network Rail said the scheme would provide passengers with more reliable and punctual journeys and easier access to and from the airport.
The project will be joint funded by Network Rail and Gatwick Airport. Construction work is due to start next autumn and is expected to be completed by the end of 2013. Network Rail said it was the busiest airport station in the UK last year.
Stewart Wingate, the airport's chief executive, said: ‘I am pleased that the station - a critical gateway to our airport - will now be developed to match the improvements we are making to the airport itself.’
