WORK is underway on improvements including new lefts at Grays rail station.

Train operator c2c and Network Rail are working to install step-free access facilities at the railway station.

Work began earlier this month, with the final major construction works currently planned for the end of August.

While work is taking place the subway between the platforms will be closed,
