Syon Lane station upgrade complete

South Western Railway (SWR), in partnership with their contractor Osbornes, has officially opened the new lift and footbridge at Syon Lane, brining enhanced station capacity and accessibility at the busy west London station.

With the recent expansion of the nearby Sky campus on Grant Lane, the existing station infrastructure needed to be improved to improve the customer experience and allow for the extra passengers at peak times.

The project has seen the installation of two new extra wide flights of stairs and a wide aisled bridge across the railway. Additionally, the station has a new lift down to the Hounslow bound platform and a new step free footpath to the Waterloo bound platform. New Oyster card readers have been installed and located in positions that aid passengers flows into and out of the station as well as a new customer help point.
