Progress

The scheme at Barnes station will comprise the installation of a new, open footbridge at the eastern end of the existing canopy. A lift and staircase will serve each of the outside platforms as well as the central island platform, thereby providing a fully accessible route to and between platforms. New lighting and security cameras will also be provided on and around the bridge. (Network Rail)
