A new accessible toilet is set to be installed at Carshalton Beeches train station after intervention by Carshalton and Wallington MP Tom Brake.

A resident highlighted concerns about the lack of easy accessible toilet facilities at the station in Gordon Road.

However, Mr Brake escalated the issue to Southern Rail and it is now scheduled to be installed in the middle of February next month.

He said: “I appreciate the work Southern Rail are doing to install an accessible toilet at Carshalton Beeches Station.

“In this day and age there can be no excuse for failing to provide these facilities.

“This follows on from the great news that Network Rail has been given the go-ahead to build step-free access at Carshalton [Beeches] station.”
