Gerrards Cross station officially reopened after months of improvement work on Friday.

Commuters will notice the new open plan ticket office at the station, aimed at helping to improved customer service. The booking hall has also been modernised, with LED lighting, a new heating system, new seating and redecoration work carried out on the ceiling, the flooring and the walls.

The LED lights, which have been rolled out across all of Chiltern Railways stations, will reduce the companies CO2e output by over 600,000kg. This is the equivalent of travelling between London and Birmingham Moor Street 14,224 times.

Chiltern Railways Customer Services Director Alan Riley said, "We’re committed to improving our stations for our customers to continue to make them a pleasant place to be.

“This project at Gerrards Cross is part our continued investment in our stations and we’re proud to unveil these improvements. We hope our customers will be pleased with the refurbishment.”

Gerrards Cross Mayor, Councillor Chris Brown said, "On behalf of the residents of Gerrards Cross, the Town Council would like to express our thanks to Chiltern Railways for these welcome improvements to Gerrards Cross station.

“It was a privilege to attend the official opening ceremony for the new ticket office facility on Friday and I would like to thank Chiltern Railways for their hospitality.”
