Enabling works have commenced on the £19m project, and form part of a wider £150m investment in the Interchange, with Ion Developments acting as delivery partner. This current phase is expected to be complete in 2020.

The scheme will see the creation of an enhanced ticket office, larger passenger concourse, increased ticket barriers to ease flow onto and off platforms, and much improved retail and café facilities.

Simon Burton, Managing Director for Galliford Try West Midlands & South West, said: “It is great for our business to be part of this ambitious scheme which will make a lasting difference to the civic fabric of Wolverhampton.”
