Title: Bridgwater station "as part of a vital, integrated transport network" Post by: grahame on March 28, 2020, 02:14:37 From this is the West Country (https://www.thisisthewestcountry.co.uk/news/somerset_news/18339712.give-us-sign--calls-make-bridgwater-station-user-friendly/)
Quote TWO Bridgwater councillors say much more needs to be done to make the town's railway station more user-friendly. On Thursday, March 12, Bridgwater town councillors Glen Burrows and Mick Lerry visited Bridgwater Station with the aim of looking at the facilities from the perspective of a first-time visitor and seeing what could be improved. The pair came away feeling that a number of measures need to be taken, and concluding that 'very little attention has been given to the need to develop the rail station in Bridgwater as part of a vital, integrated transport network for an expanding town and district'. Article goes on to list a whole shopping cart full of issues (a big cart too) many of which sound far too familiar from other stations. I suspect that attention is paid to the need, but working out what needs to be done and actually doing it are, far too often, different things.
