The MP said that ORR had decided not to bring any prosecutions relating to the collapse in May 2021.
He added that Network Rail inspections found there may have been an error in the original construction of the station.
“Network Rail explained the actions they have taken to improve and change their procedures since the gable end collapsed and I am satisfied lessons have been thoroughly learned,” he said.
“At the meeting, Network Rail advised that they are now looking at September 2025 as their ‘fallback’ date for the fit-out of the ticket office after I previously expressed unhappiness at the speed with which this was taking.
“They are now intending to look at contracting someone who specialises in retail fitouts should their framework agreement enable this, which would allow them to significantly bring forward the start date.”
