UK-based hospitality company Travelodge plans to expand its hotel operations across England with 60 million pounds ($77.8 million) investments.

With the investment, Travelodge is seeking 10 sites to build hotels close to railway stations in key commuter towns across the South East.

Travelodge said that it will open new sites including Reading, Maidstone, Stevenage, Watford and Haywards Heath.

The project will increase employment opportunities in the region.
