Nice station but nothing special
It's about time this station has a refit. Everytime I pass on the train, it looks warn out and needs knocking down. All other GA stations on the route have been fully refurbished
The price of tickets are a joke and the stafg on the barriers are rude the toilets are never open and when they ate they are filthy the only positve about the station is that it has a faor prices shop inside and great disabled access to each platform
