Work by Network Rail has been complete on renewal of the roof at Middlesbrough station. This station has a listed status which added challenges, but the restoration effort has been finished to an exceptional high quality, including new slates, weatherproofing, masonry repairs and repointing. A Star of David in the original concourse wall has been restored with funding from the Railway Heritage Trust. On April 9th the southern entrance to the station which has been closed for a number of years was reopened once again providing a step free walkway from Zetland Road including a vehicle turning circle & drop off point,
