Hartlepool Railway Station | Platform 3 Opening Day June 2nd 2024 | Featuring 156s + 158s + More!

Today, June 2nd, marks a monumental day for Heart Tool as we proudly unveil the brand-new Platform 3! This eagerly anticipated addition brings a host of exciting features designed to enhance your travel experience and connect our community better than ever before.
One of the standout features of Platform 3 is the sleek new footbridge that seamlessly links it with the existing infrastructure. Complementing this are accessible lifts on both Platform 2 and Platform 3, ensuring that everyone can navigate the station with ease.
Platform 3 is set to serve an impressive range of destinations, including London King's Cross, Middlesbrough, Battersby, Whitby, and Saltburn, with services operated by Northern and Grand Central. Meanwhile, our trusty Platform 2 will continue to handle services to Newcastle, Carlisle, and Sunderland. Notably, Platform 2 will remain bi-directional, meaning trains can arrive from either direction. This crucial feature ensures uninterrupted service in case of a lift malfunction, as stipulated by the Disability Act, ensuring all passengers, including those using wheelchairs, can access their trains.
The bi-directionality of Platform 2 is a testament to our commitment to accessibility and operational efficiency, guaranteeing that services run smoothly and passengers experience minimal disruption. Of course, we remain optimistic that such measures will never need to be tested, and our focus is firmly on the positive impact Platform 3 will bring.
With the introduction of Platform 3, we are not just adding a new physical structure; we are paving the way for new investment, new trains, and potentially new services to even more destinations in the future. This expansion represents a significant step forward for Heart Tool, promising enhanced connectivity, greater convenience, and a brighter future for all our passengers.
Join us today in celebrating this exciting milestone, and look forward to the many benefits that Platform 3 will bring in the weeks, months, and years to come!
