Update on Nottingham footbridge - Closure of access to platforms not taking place on 22 Feb

Please find an update regarding the Nottingham footbridge. 

A spokesperson said: “The first short closure of the bridge laid bare the stark extent of ticketless travel taking place via the footbridge – estimated to be around £1.1 million a year.

“This money belongs to the taxpayer and is vital for the railway to operate successfully, improve, and secure investment.
“The last closure also highlighted significant safety and security benefits, including three direct interventions to support suicidal individuals.

“We recognise the importance of ensuring that our proposals effectively consider those impacted by this change. To support this, we will not be closing access to the footbridge on 22 February, and instead, will be taking additional time to engage further with the relevant stakeholders.”
