Collaborative working will ensure the delivery of project, with a similar process is already delivering a modernised station for Inverness.

The ScotRail Alliance’s project lead Peter O’Connell said: “We’ve submitted an initial plan for Motherwell Station’s redevelopment work.

“I believe it’s in keeping with the plans North Lanarkshire Council has for the ongoing development of the town centre, particularly in improving the relationship of the station to the town centre, enhancing transport interchange facilities, increasing park and ride availability and transforming the quality of the station environment.”
