History
In 2020, South Western Railway was issued with an improvement notice by the Office of Rail and Road as it did not supply a ramp for wheelchair users despite it being mandated by law.[2][3]
In August 2020, planning permission was given to replace the station footbridge.[4] In January 2021, work began to replace the footbridge with a new covered bridge with lifts. The new bridge was opened in September 2021 with the lifts opened shortly after.[5][6]
