Oh Mr Porter!

Whittlesford Parkway station - now without its platform ticket machine for a month after the latest crime there. (Click on words to go to Saffron Walden Reporter news article)

Latest suggestion from National Express is that the village gardening club might want to lend a hand to brighten the place up. So, let's get this straight - a London commuter pays about £4,ooo a year to catch an old train, from a station with basic facilities but no shop, or lavatory, or even a ticket machine. Your children can't leave their bikes overnight because they will get kicked in, and there is no CCTV in a car park which charges over five quid a day. And now we're being invited to do the weeding as well! At least Will Hay watered his own flower baskets!
