Rail passengers using Rye House rail station are benefiting from a new waiting room.

Greater Anglia has replaced the existing open-sided waiting shelter on platform 1 to install a comfortable new waiting room to help protect people from the elements as they wait for trains.

Work was carried out to replace the old shelter with a brand-new, fully enclosed room with new seating and automatic doors to provide easy access for those with mobility issues, pushchairs and luggage.

Greater Anglia has committed to a range of improvements in the year ahead - from better punctuality and environmental performance to improved stations, accessibility and ticket options.

The train company has pledged to a variety of improvements in the latest edition of its Customer Report, now available on the Greater Anglia website.

The six-monthly Customer Report outlines Greater Anglia’s achievements over half of last year and sets out what the company hopes to do in the year ahead.

Regional train services in East Anglia have continued their record-beating run of performance during the autumn months that would usually present the biggest challenges for rail operators.
