New lifts are being installed at Catford train station and will provide step-free access to the platforms.

Work will be completed by the end of October and building was given the go-ahead following feedback from local residents.

The construction is part of the Catford Framework Plan, a Lewisham borough initiative that hopes to drive position regeneration in the area.

Lewisham Council tweeted on Tuesday: “Construction is underway to install new lifts at Catford Station!

“The new lifts will provide step-free access to the platforms, following feedback from residents in our consultation on the Catford Framework Plan.

“@NetworkRail hope to complete works by the end of October.”
