Station improvements ease Clapham commute

A £300,000 funding package from the Mayor of London's Great Outdoors programme has transformed the approach to the recommissioned Brighton Yard entrance to Clapham Junction station, which had been disused for more than half a century.

The restored entrance and improvements to its approach now means Clapham Junction, Britain's busiest station, has step-free access with much reduced congestion. The investment is part of a £14.5 million restoration scheme which has also seen access to the platforms and trains transformed with the installation of new lifts and the construction of a new ticket hall.
