Thanks for that. Good to see some local history.

Wouldn't it be a nice idea to restore the station to something like it used to be. I presume that once the ELL goes in there will be some refurbs to the station. Why not go the whole way and restore the station to something like it's former condition.

It already looks like we will be getting some money from the Department for Transport "Access for all Stations"
http://www.dft.gov.uk/transportforyou/ac...llstations
I also assume we will get some type of cash injection from the ELL extension to retrofit the station.

Maybe we could contact the council, heritage groups etc. and see if they want to throw some cash our way.

A grand station would be a nice feature.

Anyone up for a little more lobbying?
