Work has started on the multi-million pound transformation of a Merseyside railway station. The �4.25m project at Bootle Oriel Road station will include the construction of a new ticket office, booking hall, footbridge and new lifts.
Mark Dowd, chairman of Merseytravel, said the work would "restore the station to its former glory".
Bootle Oriel Road is also one of nine stations being upgraded to improve access for disabled travellers.
"The new-look station will complement the surrounding area which has seen some major investment over recent times," Councillor Dowd said.
"The works will help restore the station to its former glory, improving access to rail services for many people and re-establishing it as an important transport link to and from the area," he added.
Work is expected to be completed by the end of February 2008.
