Geoff Marshall gives us a tour. I like his positivity, but I feel that surrounding a new rail station with so much surface car parking instead of transit-orientated development should get a little criticism. I guess at least a surface car park is easier to build on later than a multistorey obstruction.

He also gets a tiny thing wrong: the Alstom Aventras that serve the station don’t have level boarding. The Stadler Flirts that also on that line do, but don’t usually stop there at present.

What do you think of this? Better than the modular stations opened recently? Still not good enough?
