Both lifts at Newport station out until Tuesday — subway stays open

Both platform lifts at Newport station failed on Thursday evening. Network Rail says a control-board part is due Monday; they will not reopen the cars until they have tested both. The subway and stairs are open. Staff can walk you round via the High Street entrance if you need a level route to platform 1.

If you are going to County on Saturday, the 12-minute walk from the front of the station to Rodney Parade does not use the lifts. The issue is arriving by train if you cannot do stairs. TfW is putting a member of staff at the barrier from 07:00 Friday.
