The maintenance and remedial costs of maintaining the current infrastructure are estimated as high as £6m over the next five years – expenditure which is not in line with our business goals. We are not currently pursuing full closure of the station which would require support from both regional stakeholders and the relevant rail authorities.
I know we can't expect anymore from them, but you would have thought at least one of the two leading regional newspapers would have challenged this statement. Why so much? How much does keeping the remaining side open cost? What's stopping you closing the whole lot?
