On the not unreasonable assumption the Wellington Railway Station will be built, it will be located in the parcel of land shown

here. It is proposed a new road will be built on the north side of the railway line to the west to bring traffic from communities

to the north of the town. For active travellers, this will give them access to 66 acres of lands acquired by the town which will

provide onward travel to Rockwell Green and communities on towards the Devon border.

 

At this stage the detailed designs of the station are not available, but one way or another provision must be made for walkers and cyclists to easily cross the railway and to have direct and convenient access to the station which will be constructed hard against the Grand Western Canal Greenway.

 

If the current political climate should change and the station build is delayed, there is a railway overbridge less than 1km along the line to the west which would give access into the town. It would link into existing active travel infrastructure and quiet residential areas.

 

The Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure plan for Wellington is nearing completion, and this identifies these options that capitalise on new transport links.
