"Our industry partners, passengers and stakeholders have been central to delivering this important project and I'm grateful for their support."

Thameslink and Great Northern Managing Director Tom Moran said: "We've transformed St Albans station over the last few years to improve the experience for our passengers.

"We now have new retail stores, improved toilets, additional cycle facilities with increased security and a wider entrance to help passenger flows through the Ridgmont Road entrance.

"This second footbridge is yet another substantial improvement that will really help commuters by making it quicker and easier to get from one side of the station to the other – particularly from the central 'island' platform."
