Johnstone railway station's new footbridge is open for passengers

Johnstone railway station's new fully-accessible footbridge and lifts are now open for passengers.

Delivered by Story Scotland on behalf of Network Rail, the new layout makes it easier for people with impaired mobility or those travelling with luggage, children or cycles to access the platforms, whether they are heading towards Glasgow or the Ayrshire coast.

The footbridge takes station users from the entrance, over the railway, with lifts now in place to take people down to platform level.

Liam Sumpter, route director at Network Rail Scotland, said: "We are delighted to have completed this investment in Johnstone station and the new bridge and lifts will make the railway easily accessible to even more people in the local community.

"Scotland's Railway is working closely with Transport Scotland to deliver access improvements at as many stations as possible so we can open up the network and create more travel choices for people across the country."
