A very succinct thread about Narborough station…

[Leicestershire Loves Walking, Wheeling and Cycling @LeicsCountyBike]

A little local story about the madness and decline of our railways.
Q. Who owns and manages Narborough station in Leics??
1) Network Rail owns the buildings and infrastructure.
2) The Arch Company leases the buildings from NR, incl the disused stationmaster’s house/garden. 1/3

If ever you had any doubts over the full impact to ticket office closures, then read this excellent and thought provoking thread from Warren.

Then send in your objections. You have just 7 days left.
