As many as 50 railway stations across the North of England are set to get new parcel delivery lockers, following successful installations at stations including Apperley Bridge.

The move follows a deal between Northern and parcel locker operator Quadient.

The new lockers form part of Quadient's Parcel Pending network, which is used for deliveries by carriers including Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, and UPS.

The network is also used by key exchange firm KeyNest.

Mark Powles, commercial and customer director at Northern, said: "Our stations are at the heart of the communities they serve and as such they are the perfect base for other popular services that people require.

"Access to parcel delivery lockers at stations is something our customers have told us makes their life easier, as they combine travelling with collecting or dropping off their parcels.

"Quadient has a great reputation for customer service and we are delighted to partner with them to bring their services to thousands of our customers each and every day."

By the end of September, more lockers will be installed at stations including Ulleskelf and Lealholm.

A further 30 locations are being identified with a view to locker installation by spring 2025.
