Help Points at Alsager Station

Alsager Station gets new state of the art help points for its passengers



Fiona Bruce MP visited Alsager Railway Station last Saturday to try the new solar powered ‘Help Points’ that have been installed on both platforms.  These Help Points enable rail passengers to contact network rail for up to date information about the trains passing through the station and provide an emergency contact to the British Transport Police.  They have now been installed for three weeks and were part of the East Midlands Trains station enhancement programme.

Jonny Wiseman, East Midlands Trains route manager of Sheffield, Derbyshire and Staffordshire said “at an unmanned station these are so important.”

Fiona Bruce MP had chance to use one of the Help Points and said “What a fantastic service.  These Help Points will make Alsager Station more accessible for passengers, enhancing an already valuable local service for residents.”
