Northern has announced that the car park, and bus turning circle, have been resurfaced at Dent station.

Dent is the highest station in England, standing 1150 feet above sea level, and is found on the Settle to Carlisle line.

Completed by Network Rail and Northern, the project has seen a change to the car park layout to improve safety for passengers, by ensuring the pedestrian areas and car park spaces are marked clearly.

Steve Hopkinson, Regional Director at Northern, said: “The improvements will make a huge difference to our customers and others who also use the car park. I’d like to thank everyone who has been involved in this scheme.

“The new surfacing work will give the right impression to people coming to see the beauty of Cumbria and is part of our ongoing commitment to make our stations better for customers.”

This work will mean better facilities for passengers, and also a boost to local businesses who helped complete the work.

Rory Kingdon, Senior Sponsor at Network Rail, said: “Improving the facilities at our stations is a key part of our putting passengers first programme. We hope that the new car park surface, which provides greater convenience for passengers, will help entice them back on to trains for work and leisure purposes.”
