The £1.67m investment will bring twonew shops created instead of just one, new seating across the lounge,new charging points for mobile phones and laptops and an accessible waiting area for passengers with additional mobility needs
During the upgrade work the toilets and seating areas will stay open, but it will see some changes for passengers – including the closure of the existing Costa coffee shop.
