DEVON County Council has now provided more details about the proposed improvements to St Thomas railway station.
As The Echo revealed last week a planning application which would see better shelters, lighting and CCTV at the station has been lodged with the city council.
A spokesman for the county council has now told Community News: "The station improvements are being proposed by First Great Western as part of the INTERREG Citizens Rail project http://www.citizensrail.org/devon/
"The project covers the Riviera Line between Paignton and Exeter and includes train service frequency improvements between Paignton and Newton Abbot, with some continuing to/from Exeter, along with improvements to some stations along the line.
"The county council has put in just short of £270,000 of funding and is using £175,000 of Local Sustainable Transport Funding to help provide the additional train services, but it is not funding the station improvements.
"First Great Western is leading on the station improvements, which include Exeter St Thomas.
"Devon County Council may separately fund a mural and some planting but there are no details as yet."
