"The station improvements form part of a broader £14m programme secured in 2023 to increase train frequencies and cut journey times between Belmont and central London."
"To do that, they will build a turnback siding just south of Belmont Station, providing enough space along the single-track railway line to handle four trains per hour."
"Belmont station also serves the nearby London Cancer Hub, and the wider set of works aims to make it easier to walk or cycle to the station."
Improvements around Belmont station have commenced as part of a plan to double train services on the Sutton to Epsom Downs line by 2027. Key upgrades include new footway materials, fresh planting, resurfaced roads, improved drainage, new street lighting, and clearer signage. A £14 million program aims to increase train frequencies and reduce journey times. Funding includes £14.1 million from the Levelling Up Fund and £1.5 million from Sutton Council. The project also promotes walking and cycling to the station, enhancing access to the London Cancer Hub.
