Improvements set to take place to the station include:

  • New ‘rest area’ for bus drivers
  • Lighting upgrades
  • Additional surveillance
  • New cycling infrastructure and facilities
  • Improvements to customer facing areas
  • New flooring

Andy Thrupp, Operations Manager, said: “We’re investing more than £3bn in public transport over the next 10 years to create closer connections between our communities, better connecting people to jobs, training, education and leisure pursuits. Work is currently underway at Walsall St Paul’s to create a brighter, more pleasant station for passengers. We’ve installed real-time information screens, new cycling facilities, LED lighting and we’re refurbishing the toilets. We’ll also be giving the station a facelift, using the new West Midlands transport branding to create a striking, recognisable station that the people of Walsall can be proud of.”

Transport for the West Midlands – who’ll be represented at the West Midlands Development Plans Conference by Director Anne Shaw – are now looking to appoint a contractor to carry out the next phase of design work. Other areas including real-time information screens, wayfinding and more are set to be looked at in the coming months.
