How many stations and platforms can *only* be accessed by stairs? They maybe can't stop Network Rail in their relentless quest to prevent anyone with a disability or a bicycle from being able to cross the tracks by replacing all crossings with steeply stepped bridges, but they can surely sort the issue out inside stations themselves. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21171#post-364404 Wed, 26 Oct 2022 13:48:35 +0000 chdot 364404@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/opinion/500802/perth-railway-station-needs-more-toilets/" rel="nofollow">https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/opinion/500802/perth-railway-station-needs-more-toilets/</a></p> <p>Perth is a magnificent station, but realistically much bigger than optimum for the current passenger usage - though it’s not clear what could be done to make it better!</p> <p>As a result must be hard to maintain ‘economically’ and so looks a bit neglected.</p> <p>Plenty trains though <a href="https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:PTH/2022-10-26/0000-2359?stp=WVS&amp;show=pax-calls&amp;order=wtt" rel="nofollow">https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:PTH/2022-10-26/0000-2359?stp=WVS&amp;show=pax-calls&amp;order=wtt</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21171#post-364403 Wed, 26 Oct 2022 13:32:17 +0000 Tulyar 364403@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Perth was listed as one of the few stations with timber as part or all of the platforms in UK (Roughly 86 stations in 2600) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21171#post-364395 Wed, 26 Oct 2022 10:06:16 +0000 neddie 364395@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Perth station needs a lick of paint and a good clean, that's for sure </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21171#post-364387 Tue, 25 Oct 2022 21:34:47 +0000 Tulyar 364387@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://mag.railtechnologymagazine.com/articles/scotrail-s-140m-stations-renovation-project" rel="nofollow">https://mag.railtechnologymagazine.com/articles/scotrail-s-140m-stations-renovation-project</a></p> <p>Some of this sounds very promising .... but will it deliver? </p>
