Network Rail has completed a £4 million station upgrade project in Surrey.
Works to improve Godalming Station have been delivered four weeks earlier than scheduled.
Features include new step-free access across both platforms in the station with two 16-person lifts and a full enclosed footbridge.
In addition, canopy extensions have been developed to shelter the path from the footbridge to the existing platforms canopies, and platforms have been resurfaced throughout the station.
Network Rail is working alongside the Department of Transport to deliver 68 Access for All schemes around the country, which are either in the design or construction stage.
Stuart Kistruck, Route Managing Director for Network Rail, said: "The early completion of the £4m improvement works at Godalming marks another step towards the delivery of our Railway Upgrade Plan, providing a better railway for the growing number of passengers in Surrey.
"Both platforms are now fully accessible via the two lifts and the footbridge, and I'm delighted to be able to provide passengers in Godalming with a better station."
