Aldrington station refurbished ahead of schedule
Passengers at Aldrington station, in East Sussex, are to set benefit from newly improved platforms following a £500k investment.
Engineers have carried out remedial works to restore and strengthen platforms 1 and 2.
The platform redevelopments were planned to delivered in a 52-hour closure which was later reduced to 27 hours. Engineers were also able to deliver the work during the reduced closure and midweek night working.
De-vegetation works also took place while the station platform surfaces were jet washed and litter was cleared from the site.
