Progress on the £3.3m refurbishment of Skegness railway station has hit a snag as Taziker Ltd, the assigned contractor, has withdrawn from the venture. East Midlands Railway (EMR), the overseeing authority, has confirmed the halt in operations and is currently in the process of scouting for a new collaborator to accomplish the task. The upgrade, bolstered by the government’s Town Deal fund, is aimed at remodelling the station layout to enhance passenger navigation. An EMR representative assured that they are moving swiftly to assign a new partner, with the intent to resume construction at the earliest possible time.
