1 is Worcester Shrub Hill I think? The old goods lifts which were rumoured to be reinstated and brought into use for passengers a few years ago but I’ve heard nothing since. Not surprising given the pace of change at Worcester I suppose!

I did wonder ... the lack of wheelchair access to platforms 2 and 3 is noticeable. Do any passenger trains use platform 3?? |

I did wonder ... the lack of wheelchair access to platforms 2 and 3 is noticeable. Do any passenger trains use platform 3?? Passengers can cross on the 'barrow crossing' at the end of the platforms with staff assistance. Hardly customer friendly though - especially in inclement weather. Trains formed of up to two 20m long vehicles can use Platform 3, so now many of the 150s have been replaced by 165s it sees less use than ever. You can just squeeze a 2-car formed of 23m in as well, but the rear cab is then behind a brick wall so not ideal for despatch! |

5 was Coatbridge Central in July, so it probably still is.
PS: knowing the identical image had been posted before, I set Google to image search for it - it failed. However, the forum's own search (Graham's new "improvised" one) found it from its URL!.

It still is in September To show that our rail doesn't have a monopoly on crap, the three left are Scotland, Ireland and bus ... does that help? Glad the improvised search is working. Hopefully a new, improved and integrated search for Christmas |

Yes, exactly ... Wikipedia tells me. The new Bath Bus Station opened on Sunday 7 June 2009, at a cost of £14 million The pigeon ingress is utterly frustrating. In recent months the destination boards above the bays have been fixed and the birds can now only congregate of the emergency roof access ladder, so the problem is now concentrated in this area ... and is utterly frustrating to get fixed between the major bus operator, landlord and contract cleaning crew. |
