Andrew Goodrum, Greater Anglia’s Infrastructure & Major Projects Director, Greater Anglia, said: “We are very pleased to have invested more than £700,000 in improvements at Great Yarmouth railway station ahead of the busy summer season.

“These upgrades are making the station more welcoming, accessible and easier to use, while additional weekday peak services are giving passengers more options between Norwich and Great Yarmouth.

“With strong punctuality on the route, rail is an attractive option for people travelling to and from the town and the east coast.”

Martin Halliday, Community Rail Development Officer for Community Rail Norfolk, said: “The Wherry Lines Community Rail Partnership welcomes recent improvements by Greater Anglia at Great Yarmouth station.

“Over the past few years, the partnership has worked to make the station a more welcoming gateway to the town which has seen us fund new planters, image panels, a refurbishment of the night entrance with new cycle storage plus numerous way-marking and welcome signage.

“In addition, we partnered with Muscular Dystrophy UK to help fund a Changing Places toilet facility for the station and, through Greater Anglia’s Customer & Community Improvement Fund, worked with the Broads Trust to create a bespoke information hub which signposts visitors to the town, the Wherryman’s Way and other walking routes as well as information on local history, the railway and the area’s natural environment.”

The package of improvements at Great Yarmouth railway station is part of Greater Anglia’s ongoing work to improve journeys for passengers.

It also reflects the wider approach now being taken across GBR Anglia, with c2c, Greater Anglia and Network Rail Anglia working more closely together under one leadership team to improve planning, strengthen day-to-day coordination and support better delivery across infrastructure, train services and customer experience.
