 This work was funded under the Department for Transport's Access for All scheme, although the bridge required replacement as part of the project to electrify the Great Western main line, as it was too low for the overhead wires to fit underneath.The footbridge was closed for two weeks in September 2016, eight months after opening, due to drainage issues.It has also been criticised as no lift is provided to the car park to the north of the station, although passive provision was made for its installation in the future.
