Overview

Access across the railway at Westerton Train Station used to be via a narrow pedestrian bridge making it very difficult for anyone with impaired mobility to access both platforms. The old bridge was replaced in 2018 by a new wider bridge and lifts have been installed making it easier for all passengers to cross the railway to the opposite platform.

Transport & Parking

The station had its own car park directly behind platform 1. The car park has 110 spaces with 3 accessible spaces next to the ticket office.

Access

Signage around the station is clear and there are ramps at the entrance and exit to the ticket office with automatic doors. An automated ticket machine is available on the platform if accessing the office is difficult. There are several benches on both platforms and a shelter with seating on platform 2. The new lifts are located close to the ticket office and are clearly sign posted.

Toilets

An accessible toilet is available on platform 1.

Staff

Staff are available for assistance between 6:30am and 8:50pm from Monday to Saturday. On Sunday these hours are reduced to between 9:10am and 4:50pm.
