Step-free access arrives at Stoneleigh station as new lifts and footbridge are opened
"The new footbridge at Stoneleigh station, equipped with lifts for accessibility, symbolizes improved transport options that enhance freedom of movement for local residents."
"Michael Adlington from SWR highlights that accessible transport allows individuals, particularly those with disabilities, the freedom to choose where to live without transport constraints."
The recent opening of a new footbridge at Stoneleigh station marks an important upgrade in accessibility, featuring three lifts to serve users on both sides of the railway. This structure is the third footbridge in the station's history, replacing earlier versions that lacked modern accessibility features. Unlike its concrete predecessor, the new footbridge is fully covered and has windows, enhancing the user experience. The upgrade reflects a broader effort to make transportation more inclusive, enabling greater freedom in choosing where to live, particularly for those with disabilities.
