Hove Station Footbridge – Progress at Last!
£15 million is being contributed by Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) in The Passenger Benefit Fund which will be used to provide benefits to passengers across the network. They are welcoming ideas from stakeholder groups and we want the Hove Station footbridge to be considered (see the attached newsletter). Train users are also encouraged to submit their ideas individually via The Passenger Benefit Fund website.
HSNF application for re-designation (2019)
In July2019 the Forum successfully applied for re-designation, as its initial 5-year term expired in September 2019. Having secured re-designation for an additional five years, our priority is to take account of the Regulation 14 Consultation responses and agree the final draft with the Council.
