Upgrades to the Windrush line are happening. The upgrades will support increased passenger traffic. Surrey Quays station is also getting accessibility upgrades. Step-free access should exist by summer 2026.
Lifts will soon help many people travel. A new footbridge recently arrived at the station. Workers lifted it into place during a closure. The new bridge has stairs for all platforms. It will reduce congestion on narrow stairs.
A new ticket hall is also progressing well. It’s on platform two. Workers installed a timber roof, and they also finished the outside roof work. Two new lifts are being installed.
These lifts will give step-free platform access. This helps people with mobility issues, and it also helps parents using strollers. Soon, people can reach Canada Water more easily. British Land and AustralianSuper have a big plan. They will build homes and shops nearby.
The new entrance faces the opposite side of Lower Road. A large ticket hall will exist there. Planners expect sixty percent of people to use it. This will ease congestion at the current entrance. Station work stays on track for summer 2026.
