Railway station access to change from Sunday

The way vehicles will access City of Wolverhampton Railway Station will change from 5am on Sunday, as part of the city’s £132 million Interchange improvements.

It coincides with the switch to a new entrance for the extended multi-storey car park, which will be operational for the first time on the same day.

From Sunday, motor vehicles will no longer be able to access the station via Railway Drive. Instead, they can access the station, multi-storey car park, short stay parking, passenger drop-off/pick-up area and taxi rank via Corn Hill.

Pedestrians should continue to access the station via the footbridge from Pipers Row, as at present, while National Cycle Route 81 will be maintained along Railway Drive, although cyclists should take care as construction traffic will be operating in the area. Read more...
