Slough's train station is set for a major makeover in the coming months after plans to renovate parts of the station were given the go-ahead.

Developers had submitted drastic plans to the council to make the changes, which are aimed at 'improving access to Slough railway station by achieving better interchange facilities for pedestrians, cyclists, buses and taxis'.

These works are set to follow on from the 2012 major refurbishment, with public realm works improving the southern forecourt.

  •  Widening of Railway Terrace to accommodate on-street parking provision and footpath either side of the carriageway
