St Helens Central Station has been given a makeover through a community-led project.

The improvements were carried out through a partnership involving Rotary St Helens, Northern Rail, local community groups and the college.

Two new welcome signs have been installed near the Platform 1 exit, featuring the word "Welcome" in a range of languages in recognition of St Helens’ global industrial links.

Three heritage signs have also been added to planters on the platforms, highlighting the town’s industrial history.

Fresh autumn flowers have been planted across both platforms as part of the work.

The project aims to improve the appearance of the station while giving passengers an insight into the history and heritage of St Helens.

Organisers said the improvements had created a station the town could 'truly be proud of'.
