Work to make Billingham station more accessible is going ahead, as part of a programme to improve journeys for Northern passengers.
Diggers moved in earlier in the week to start building a base for rail workers to move the £3.59m plan forward.
A new and improved bridge will connect the station’s two platforms by Spring 2023, and step free access will be made possible using two two state-of-the-art lifts. It will be the biggest change to the station since 1966.
