Rochester (re-located) Railway Station

Medway Council has approved Network Rail plans for a new £26 million re-located railway station in Rochester. It has been moved up the line by 600 yards. The new station has been designed to be able to accommodate longer trains than the current station, helping boost capacity and providing more seats for passengers. An integrated transport hub will provide better links to other types of public transport. Several spaces of Corporation Road car-park will be lost, but a new subway will lead under the railway to Rochester Riverside (a huge housing and development site beside the River Medway).
The new station is due to be completed in winter 2015
