Great news from Cooksbridge Station Partnership!

 

We are delighted to advise that, following successful testing of the selective door operation system, the new extension to platform 1 at Cooksbridge station entered into service this morning with the first train to use it being the 07.03 service to London Victoria.

 

The construction of this platform extension is a really positive development for our community, allowing rail users to access the full length of most Up trains whilst also minimising the amount of time that the level crossing at Cooksbridge is closed and the resultant airborne pollution created by any idling road vehicles.

 

With thanks to Govia Thameslink Railway and Network Rail for their continued investment in the station.
