NATIONAL EXPRESS DECISION PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY TO RETHINK STATION BARRIER PLANS
July 6, 2009 12:00 AM
The news that the government is set to take over the running of trains on the East Coast Mainline is a good opportunity to rethink plans for barriers at York station a York Councillor said today.
Fulford's Liberal Democrat Councillor Keith Aspden said, "Today's announcement means that it is very unlikely that barriers will be built at York station in the immediate future."
"There is a great deal of local opposition to these plans and I think that now is the right time to look again at the proposals."
Councillor Aspden called on the government to reconsider it's position on station barriers. He said, "I would hope that they would take into account the views of local people before deciding whether or not to continue with the plans put forward by National Express."
