Latest view of the new ticket office at Accrington station. Taking shape now! First two views taken as train was pulling out of station and 3rd view taken from passage way/platform for Preston side.

It looks like a post-modernist cow shed. I don't expect Prince Charles will perform the opening ceremony.

Stopped off in the old town last Wednesday and couldn't believe my eyes.

If this is a Tesco store then traffic on Eagle Street will be horrendous.

Traffics bad enough on eagle st now mate.

This may now be Accy's great opportunity to show it's radical, green credentials to the outside world; entrance and exit to the new Tesco should be by foot or bicycle only. That would certainly put us on the map and we would have every tree hugging, dolphin tuna-friendly, sandle-wearing veggie within a radius of 500 miles turning up to shop in the town; overall retail business would boom by a factor of 10. All it needs now is a little imagination and we've got it made.

Good photo .. all good photos but something stands out a mile, there ain't anyone on the platforms...saying that it is an improvement, did Tesco pay for it?

Don't I just know it

Seems my move came at the best possible time, it was bad enough living there before, think it will be unbearable once Tesco opens. But did notice while going past the other week that there seem to be indications of them widening the top end of Eagle Street. Wonder if anybody else has noticed??

The platform was empty apart from me and another chap who walked off when the York train came in - very curious. A few people caught the Preston train from the other platform.

Off topic but the service was excellent, caught 4 trains that day, Bare Lane to Lancaster, Lancaster to Preston, Preston to Accrington amd later Accrington to York. All on time and even arived in York 10 mins. early. Total journey time 3.5 hours and cost me £33.70 which I felt was a tad expensive.
