WORK to install lighting on the new footbridge at the railway station in Chalbury is under way.

The specially-designed system will be fitted into the handrails of the bridge to minimise light pollution from the station, which is in the Cotswolds area of outstanding natural beauty.

Temporary mobile lighting units have been in use since the footbridge and a second platform at the station opened at the start of last month as part of Network Rail’s £67m project to reinstate double track on the Cotswold Line rail route between Oxford and Worcester.
