"This is delivering huge benefits for passengers at major stations including Liverpool Lime Street, London Bridge and Derby, as well as investment in five new stations. In July we also announced that we will invest £300m up to 2024 to improve access at selected stations, ensuring our rail network is open to everyone."

Patrick Verwer, CEO at Govia Thameslink Railway said: "We're delighted to be playing our part in celebrating the revitalisation of our stations. When a station is revamped it stimulates the whole local community and working with our colleagues in Network Rail we are delivering better stations across the region.

"We're investing £50m improving stations for our passengers. Last year GTR made improvements to the value of £8m and a further £15million committed for next year."
