Over £2.8 million for Dalmarnock rail station development |
Station to be key transport hub for 2014 Commonwealth Games.
More than £2.8 million of ERDF funding is being invested towards developing Dalmarnock Rail Station in Glasgow.
The project of work at Dalmarnock will offer commuters more travel choices through the heart of the Games village and help meet travel demands beyond the Games. The station will be a key transport hub for the Commonwealth Games in 2014.
Project Partners delivering Dalmarnock Station refurbishment are Transport Scotland, Glasgow City Council, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, Clyde Gateway and Network Rail, with work progressing well for delivery in 2013.
John Swinney, Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth, said:
"When delivered, the station will not only provide additional transport services for the Commonwealth Games, but also help support the regeneration of the wider Dalmarnock area."
"As we look forward to the Games in 2014, this investment will help deliver an efficient transport network for visitors to the city, as well as a lasting legacy of improved transport links in Glasgow's East End."
