Rail passengers will have somewhere warm and dry to wait as new facilities at Clacton station are officially opened.

The new waiting room was unveiled on Thursday by MP Ivan Henderson.

A new CCTV system has also been installed to improve security at the station. More than £40,000 was invested in the new facilities to address passenger comfort and safety.

Mr Henderson said: "The SRA and Network Rail are to be congratulated for recognising the need to maximise security and comfort for passengers on stations."
