A National Stations Improvement Programme on behalf of First Group to improve both staff facilities and enhance customer experience at Bath Spa railway station.

The project opened up previously disused areas of the station and provided a new ticket office and larger entrance hall. The works required a new archway within the existing listed building fabric and the removal of all post-Brunel partitions and works.

Services were stripped back and coordinated with new light and acoustic rafts in order to remove the suspended ceiling and reveal the structural soffit and Brunel beams previously hidden.

The project area includes four station arches, one of which was refurbished as new staff facilities, whilst others were prepared for additional works to convert them to retail uses and further enhance the customer experience.

• Working within Grade II* Listed Building
• Improved staff and customers facilities
• Modern and welcoming entrance hall
• Provision of new retail space
