Big lift for Cardiff Central passengers

As part of its efforts to provide step free access for rail passengers arriving to and from Ebbw Vale, a new state of the art lift has been installed at Cardiff Central Station.

Attending the launch ceremony for the new lift, Deputy First Minister, Ieuan Wyn Jones, unveiled a commemorative plaque, now on permanent display at the station.

Mr. Jones, who is also the Minister for Economy and Transport said,

“I am very pleased to be here at Wales’ busiest train station to officially launch this fantastic addition to facilities.

“The new lift for Platform Zero makes life a whole lot easier both for rail users with disabilities and anyone who require an alternative to stairs.

“I am proud that the Welsh Assembly Government has helped deliver this improvement – which helps support our drive to help people access rail service more easily.  We will continue to work with Arriva Trains Wales and Network Rail to achieve further improvements.”

The scheme has been jointly delivered by the Welsh Assembly Government, Arriva Trains Wales, Network Rail and the Department for Transport.
