Chester station is to receive £1.4 million to help funding the improvements. The money which was given by the North West Development Agency will help to provide new passenger facilities including a new waiting room, a second stairway to the platforms and extra office space. The station in Chester is steeped in history with the original building being Grade II listed. It is hoped that the improvements to the area will help to service the busiest platform at the station which see trains going to Manchester, Liverpool and London.

There is currently a large amount of regeneration work being carried out in and around Chester station, a project which has been named ‘Chester Station Gateway Project’. The Project is a key project within the Chester Renaissance Programme, which is seeking to bring together the public and private sector to deliver a package of regeneration priorities.

Chester Renaissance is delivering a programme of new development and city centre improvements that will make Chester a must see European city. The city council is hoping that it will attract more visitors to the city as well as encourage businesses and attract investment over the next 50 years.
