![[TFW]station deep cleans](https://www.railadvent.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/TFWstation-deep-cleans.jpg)
Transport for Wales is continuing its £194 million upgrades to more than 100 stations, by completing a deep clean to over 100 stations between January and March. This is part of TFW’s Station Improvement Vision.
Stations across the Valleys, Cardiff area, west Wales and the Heart of Wales line will be given a deep and thorough clean to improve passenger comfort and satisfaction. Contractors will be out cleaning footbridges, shelters, station furniture, fencing, lighting and car parks.
By the end of March 2020, all 247 stations managed by Transport for Wales across Wales and England will have received a thorough clean.
Transport for Wales will also be installing new shelters and improved seating, additional cycle space, better signage and CCTV coverage.
What did the officials say?
Senior Project Manager for TfW Catherine Sweeney said:
“We know what a massive difference a deep clean can make to a station. These stations are key gateways to the communities we serve and we are determined to get them looking their best.
“Already the cleaning work we’ve done has made a clear difference and we’ve seen positive feedback from our customers.
“Longer term, our Station Improvement Vision will see the biggest investment in those stations for decades as we work together to give our customers the railway they deserve.”
Ken Skates, Minister for Economy and Transport, said:
“This is welcome progress. Improving the appearance of our stations is important, and the Station Improvement Vision will contribute to achieving the railway we want for Wales and the Borders. It is part of our ambitious set of reforms that will put people’s expectations of our rail network at the heart of transformation.”

When is Transport for Wales actually going to start using the Class 769s in service.
What they want to do is to stop platform changing from Zero to platform 2.At Cardiff central to Ebbw vale.This causes so much stress and difficulty to disabled passengers, I personally think the BIG FAT CONTROLLER does this for is own enjoyment.
