The upgraded station car park and new station building at Castleford Railway Station work was completed in December 2020. The underpass has been re-opened for public use and was completed in Summer 2021.
Background
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority, in partnership with Northern, Network Rail and Wakefield Metropolitan District Council, have made significant improvements and enhancements to Castleford Railway Station, providing a more attractive and welcoming gateway to Castleford Town Centre. Improvements include:
A modern, high quality passenger waiting facility including a ticket vending machine, seating and a disabled toilet.
Sheltered cycle parking.
Significant public realm improvements both to the area around the station and on key walking routes between the rail station, the town centre and the bus station. This included footway treatments, landscaping and signage.
Changes to the car park layout to allow for easier pedestrian and non motorised access.
Significant refurbishment of the subway underpass to create a more attractive link between the rail station and residential areas in the south of Castleford town centre. This included resurfacing the footway and adding new wall cladding, lighting and CCTV.
Public Engagement
We carried out surveys in summer 2021 to get your opinion on the new facilities. The survey feedback has been analysed and an outcome report is now available to download here.
