Peckham Rye station's planned upgrade has been paused, impacting step-free access and a larger ticket hall. Planning permission was granted in December 2023, with funding secured for engineering plans that were to be completed this year. A recent update from the Department for Transport indicates prioritization of funding towards immediate impactful schemes, leading to the hold on the upgrade project. Despite this, surrounding area improvements will continue, including the demolition of an old shopping center, although step-free access will need to wait.
The planned upgrade of Peckham Rye station, intended to provide step-free access and a significantly larger ticket hall, has been put on hold.
The scheme at Peckham Rye station is being paused during this Spending Review period. Funding has been prioritized for schemes that will make the greatest difference for passengers and economic growth.
Although the station upgrade is now on hold, the surrounding area will see some improvements due to Southwark Council's works to enhance the area.
Step-free access from the new square to the trains will have to wait until later.
