Buckinghamshire Council has been awarded £18.6K funding from Great Western Railway's (GWR) Community Fund to improve access for those walking, wheeling, cycling or taking the bus to Bourne End Railway Station.
A feasibility study will now be commissioned to consider new crossing points to the station, accessibility as well as improving walking, wheeling and cycling routes.
The council will also be working closely with GWR on a proposal to build a new bus interchange at the station.
These measures will make it easier for people to complete low carbon multi-modal journeys, combining rail, bus and active travel.
The outputs of the feasibility study will be used to inform future bids for full delivery funding.
Commenting on the funding award, Steven Broadbent, Cabinet Member for Transport, said:
"This timely and welcome funding from GWR will help us look at the feasibility of improving pedestrian access to Bourne End Railway Station.
“We are aware of the positive change that improving station access would bring in the area and we're working with the South West Chilterns Community Board, local Members and the Wooburn & Bourne End Parish Council to explore the best ways to making such improvements."
