Walker Construction has completed work to improve and enhance Burnham station in Buckinghamshire.

A new station building has opened at Burnham station improving access and providing more space ahead of the Elizabeth line opening in the first half of this year. Transport for London (TfL), working in partnership with operator, MTR Elizabeth line and their contractor, Walker Construction Ltd., have worked to improve the station ahead of its next chapter as a station on the Elizabeth line.

Improvements include the opening of a new, more spacious ticket office building with an accessible ticket window, new ticket vending machines, automatic ticket gates, and customer information screens with live travel information. At platform level, the existing canopy has been cleaned, repaired and redecorated, while the customer toilets have been completely refurbished.

These improvements build on work completed by Network Rail in 2019 that included the installation of a lift, which provided step-free access to both platforms for the first time in its history.

The station is now also home to a new cycle parking area that will make it even easier for those cycling in the local area with more than 45 spaces for bicycles.

Howard Smith, Chief Operating Officer for the Elizabeth line, said: "Burnham station has had quite the transformation ahead of the Elizabeth line opening in the first half of this year. The improvements, particularly the bright new ticket office building and the new cycle parking area, will help make Burnham station and the surrounding area a far safer and easier place to navigate."
