Network Rail has replied to our concerned expressed in a letter to Chris Grayling Secretary of State. The letter is available at this link. The society is still concerned that Network Rail is taking a short term 20-25 year view and is compromising the expansion and ccc of the station in the medium to long-term. The Solum scheme we must assume has a design life of circa 100years and it should be positioned to provide for changes in rail demand.
The Society will be raising the matter with the new council.
We have also posted a short summary of the planned improvements to the local rail system as far as they are known.
