Progress
Network Rail said:
The Bromsgrove Electrification project reconstructed Barnt Green station footbridge, to a new height over a metre higher than the old footbridge, to allow sufficient vertical headroom for the overhead electrification equipment. During the delivery of electrification scheme, cost increases appeared which led to the lifts being removed from scope, and passive provision only being allowed for.
The non-provision of lifts was challenged by the ORR and local politicians as not being in line with the Equality Act 2010. Therefore it was agreed between NR and the DFT that this project will install the lift access.
Continued:
The Project will deliver the following outputs
• Construction of three lifts to existing station footbridge, including foundations, lift chambers, brickwork/cladding, equipment rooms
• Installation of new sub-station power supply (insufficient capacity on existing power supply)
• Installation of an under-track crossing (UTX) or similar for associated cabling
• Upgrade of earthing and bonding installation on Platforms 3&4 to provide PAN102 & BSEN50122 compliance
