Rail Minister Opens New Station in Essex

Rail minister Lord Hendy is visiting Britain's newest station, Beaulieu Park in north Chelmsford, which opened to passengers yesterday morning.

The station was built with the aid of £141 million from the Government's Housing Infrastructure Fund, £12 million from the South-East Local Enterprise Partnership, and £22 million from the developers of Beaulieu.

The first train to call on Sunday morning was the 07.20 to London Liverpool Street, with up to four trains an hour during peak times, operated by Greater Anglia, which was nationalised earlier this month.
