Station Enhancements Cancelled

Remember that list of the 10 worst stations in Britain that was published last November?

They were:

  1. Manchester Victoria

  2. Clapham Junction

  3. Crewe

  4. Warrington Bank Quay

  5. Barking

  6. Preston

  7. Wigan North Western

  8. Luton

  9. Liverpool Central

  10. Stockport


The former government promised money to upgrade them. I, rather uncharitably, suggested that some of them could be improved with a tactical nuclear strike.


The new government, though, has decided that either option is far too expensive. The improvement programme has been cancelled as the Department for Transport tries to handle their £683 million budget cut.


What will be next for the chopping block?
