Detail of feedback received
We have reviewed responses to the consultation and have decided that the closure should proceed.
The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) must then be satisfied that the closure process has been followed. If the ORR is satisfied that it has, it will issue a closure ratification notice allowing the closure to proceed.
Network Rail has outlined that the station will close at either the end of service on 13 December 2025, or 4 weeks after ORR’s ratification: whichever is later.
