Free Rail Journey Clampdown
This article in the Evening Star shows that One wish to make changes to Felixstowe station which could be interesting for VI travellers.
I do think the train operators should get their revenue, but how would a guide dog get through a turnstile on an unmanned station? I will have to call One Railway soon to be my local rail provider on this as myself and Clare use this route.
Even if this isn’t a turnstile will the machine be accessible?
‘Brian Frost from ESTA said: “When Ipswich Town are at home there are real problems
- you get trains crowded with people and the guard cannot get through.
“I have been on single carriage trains which have 72 seats, with about 110 people
on board.”
A spokesman for 'one' Railway said: “In the past there have always been security
concerns about having ticket machines at unmanned stations.
“But Felixstowe station is reasonably open and it is overlooked by the police station
so we may feel it is all right to install a machine there.”’
