Work is progressing to improve bus, pedestrian and cycle access to and from Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station.

The work includes the construction of new carriageways and footpaths, the installation of cycle lanes, upgraded bus stops and public realm improvements to create an attractive gateway for visitors going to and from the city.

During phase one, work to redesign and install a new drainage system has been completed to help prevent future flooding outside the station and the Josiah Wedgwood statue has been removed and securely placed into storage ready for restoration and relocation.

Now, as the project enters phase two, work to upgrade the area around Winton Square will begin.

The aim is to create an 'attractive gateway' for visitors going to and from the city (Nub News).

While this work is being carried out, car park one, which is next to the Royal Mail sorting office and opposite Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College, will be closed from Monday 4 November until the end of June 2025.

During this period:

• Long-stay parking will be available at car park 2, which is located at the north end of platform one, and car park 3, at the rear of the station;
• Drop-off will be available at car park 3 (20 minutes free)
• Disabled parking facilities will be available at both car parks;
• Parking bay at Winton Square will be suspended;
• The pedestrian crossing at Winton Square will be kept in use;
• Taxi rank temporarily located outside Winton Square.

The bus stop outside Federation House will be temporarily relocated to the Station side of the carriageway and access to businesses along Station Road will be maintained.

Anyone travelling to Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station during this time is strongly advised to allow extra time for their journey.
