Construction work will get underway to improve passenger facilities at Telford Central station, Network Rail has confirmed.

The company will work alongside London Midland and Telford & Wrekin Council in an £800,000 revamp of the West Midlands station.

Among the improvements will be the station's main building being re-glazed, swing doors being replaced with automatic ones and disabled access being provided at toilets.

Network Rail senior commercial scheme sponsor Ed McCrann said that the company was "really pleased" to be delivering improvements at the station.

"We are currently working on the planning and design phase and are looking forward to delivering the project in 2010 with the help of our industry partners," he explained.

Construction work is due to begin at the start of next year, with improvements expected to be completed by the early summer.

The redevelopment is part of Network Rail's National Station Improvements programme.

Work recently began on the final stage of construction to transform platforms at Derby station.
