Is the refurbishment of St.Austell station (well, and town) not the biggest farce on earth?? How far behind are they already with no end in sight? There are now NO car parking facilities at the station during the current stage of the works.

My home town has a population of 30,000, but doubt even 1,000 go to the carnival, that was the only point I was trying to prove, the Melksham Carnival is obviously better than mine!!

I like the sign on the up platform at Devonport which states 'this platform for stations to Plymouth', what stations would these be?? Wingfield Villas Halt is long gone!!

The St.Erth to St.Ives line passes right through the middle of this golf course.

Also look at the article title: 'Re: Golfers left below par by balls complaint'. FGW▸ (First Great Western) have a station called Par!!

Quote from: Karl Friends of Penmere on June 27, 2008, 00:34:52
Morning

I not entirely sure why this group needs to equire
land for the expantion of Newquay station?  The
station has two platforms already, which one is
dual sided and if my memory serves me correct, the
platforms could acommodate 14 coaches which is more
than adiquate.  Karl.

The land on the disused face side of the current platform is owned by Co-OP▸ (Original Poster / topic starter).
