A STUDY which will look at improving passenger access at Ulverston Railway Station is set to begin this month. The study is a collaboration between Furness Line Community Rail Partnership, Network Rail, the Department for Transport (DfT) and train operating company, Northern. Ulverston Town Council has made a contribution of £10,000, whilst Cumbria County Council’s Local Committee for South Lakeland contributed £5,000 to attract the necessary match funding to progress. Access to and from the eastbound platform at Ulverston station is currently via two steep stairwells and an underpass, or by using a barrow crossing over the railway track accompanied by station staff.
