East Midlands Railway (EMR) has continued to invest in improving its regional routes, with Melton Mowbray becoming the latest station to undergo refurbishments.
The station has undergone a full repaint in rail heritage colours, preserving its historic character. Additionally, the footbridge has been upgraded, with all steps and landings refurbished, while painting of lineside locations will take place at a later date.
The work represents a £78,000 investment.
Melton Mowbray joins a number of recent projects aimed at improving the surroundings and facilities of EMR's regional stations.
Fifteen stations along the Poacher Line were recently repainted, including fences, lighting columns, windows, doors and poster frames. While, seven stations along the Derwent Valley Line and ten stations along the Robin Hood Line have also recently received a full repaint.
Philippa Cresswell, Customer Service Director at East Midlands Railway, said: "We regularly improve our regional stations, ensuring they remain safe, comfortable and visually appealing for our customers.
"These refurbishments are part of our broader commitment to enhancing the customer experience and preserving the character of our historic railway network."
