Sunderland train station marks 'major milestone' as entrance nears completion

Sunderland train station has marked a "major milestone" as the steel frame of the stunning new entrance is erected.

It is the latest addition to the station, with the full entrance shell expected to be completed by the end of March, once the roof and walling systems have been installed. The £26 million project is part of a wider £100 million plan to transform the main transport hub.

The glazed statement entrance, which will overlook Market Square, features a large glass wrap around design, and will include a new ticket office and reception, public toilets, retail space and cafes, comfortable waiting areas, as well as a new mezzanine level that will have office space reserved for rail industry staff.
