Construction work is set to resume at Biggleswade station this month to enhance accessibility for passengers, including the installation of a new footbridge and lifts.

The improvements will provide a step-free, accessible route to and between platforms, benefiting all passengers, particularly those with limited mobility, heavy luggage, or pushchairs.

The project, funded by the Government's Access for All Programme, is scheduled to start this month and is expected to be completed by December 2025.


Despite the ongoing work, Biggleswade station will remain open to passengers throughout the construction period.

Stuart Calvert, capital delivery director for Network Rail's Eastern region, said: "Improving accessibility at stations is crucial and benefits everyone – whether it's people with mobility challenges, parents or carers with pushchairs, or passengers carrying heavy luggage. It also encourages greater use of public transport, reducing car journeys, easing congestion, and helping to lower carbon emissions.

"We sincerely apologise for the delays in delivering the accessibility upgrades at Biggleswade station and fully understand the frustration this has caused for passengers and the local community.

"After several setbacks, we are pleased to be re-commencing work and are committed to delivering these much-needed improvements."
