Greater Anglia has announced that one of its stations, Cambridge, has been announced as Station of the Year at the National Transport Awards 2017.
Cambridge station was recently regenrated as part of a project. This was carried out as with Greater Anglia, Network Rail, Brookgate, Cambridge City Council and also Cambridgshire County Council.
The regeneration cost £4 million.
Redevloping the station included a refurbishment of the ticket hall which means it has doubled in size.
New facilities in the form of toilets have been built and a state of the art cycle parking area has been built (the biggest in the UK).
Cambridge station last month beat competition from Birmingham International, Derby and Ipswich to win the Large Station of the Year at the National Rail Awards last month.
Paul Stannard, who is Greater Anglia’s Area Customer Service Manager for Cambridge, said, “I’m delighted that Cambridge has been named Station of the Year. The work that has been done here has transformed the station and its surroundings, and has helped to ease congestion, making our customers’ lives a little easier when they travel with us.”
Cambridge station sees 4.4 million passengers use the station a year and is one of the busiest stations on Greater Anglia’s West Anglia network.
