Pokesdown Station

Amusingly named station located in Bournemouth. Always getting sniggers from immature travellers. Hopelessly inaccessible to the disabled thanks to Network Rail

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

At Levenshulme Station, there are 46 steps from street level to the platforms.

Many local residents can’t use it.

They have campaigned for step-free access - and we have listened.

Work to make the station fully accessible to all starts in Jan 27! 👍🏻🐝

The actions for initial costings have been confirmed & commissioning is in March. On the flipside is final costing against budget is not confirmed, so there is still the possibility of a shortfall. Also we haven't had the regular updates as promised at the previous Forum. 2/2

There was an update on Pokesdown station accessibility @Boscombe_Forum. Thanks to
@George4Labour and Cllr Eleanor Connolly for getting this. In a nutshell, the project team think they are just keeping to timescale. Things are progressing...1/2 #pokesdown

That is not Pokesdown Station in background 🧐 Unless an upgrade has already happened to my rusting girders. Photoshop does exist for London based MPs 😀

It's been a long time, but hearing there might be some news to sort out my lifts...maybe...

[Phill Heritage @phill_heritage]

@SW_Trains taking over an hour to get from Poole back to work in boscombe as delayed train will no longer stop at pokesdown. Farcical

Can't wait for #afcb to join the Premiership, but shame about access at the local station! http://t.co/GtlQzUHTob @lpftweets

On that note, did you know this Government cut funding for accessibility in stations like me by 42%? Topical one this week.

[Pokesdown Station @PokesdownTrain]

Up the cherries. God only knows what Chelsea, Arsenal & co will think when they get off and expect working lifts here ;-) #afcb

Been a while since I tweeted. When you are as tired and run down as me you need a long rest.

Somebody has smashed my window in. No, seriously, the window by the front door is smashed in. It's not even Saturday night.
