Re: Accrington Railway Station
Is there stil a carpark at the station?

Someone asked us yesterday in town, and we didn't know.

I think they were genuine.

They didn't look like doggers.

I suppose Network Rail (100% owned by the taxpayer) could have saved a few bob, by instead of building a new ticket office, let Tesco's flog the rail tickets. That way you would have had a ticket office open 24/7 and a few more jobs.
