James Duddridge, Member of Parliament for Rochford and Southend East officially reopens the recently refurbished Thorpe Bay Station.
Thorpe Bay station has recently undergone a £500,000 refurbishment programme including an improved ticket hall, new ticket machines, video information screens, waiting room refurbishment and redecorated station.
In addition to the refurbishment, c2c have launched Thorpe Bay as their first smart station. This is a new approach breaking down the barriers between customers and staff, providing passengers more freedom to serve themselves whilst maintaining the traditional approach for those that wish to use it.
James said
“I was delighted to be able to officially open the refurbished Thorpe Bay Station. I am confident all passengers will thoroughly enjoy the new station and will benefit from the smart station approach!”
