Alnmouth Station

Still no information on services being displayed on the indicator boards - has been like this for months.

Help/Information Point still has a sticker saying its out of order - again over a month.

Wouldn't matter if the Ticket Office was not deserted after 6pm

Never mind spending a fortune installing lifts get the basics right first !!!

what Ivhey need a bigger car park ,locals getting restive about cars all over local roads.

As I recall it, it is barely 5 years since the Alnmouth station car-park was radically enlarged. Possible doubling in capacity.

As for any further investment in these difficult times, I'd expect that to be tied to the future plans for R.A.F. Boulmer, all of whose potential plans involve greater or lesser degrees of a loss of employment. As for the tourist trade in the region, and any other economic growth, evidence from recent years has failed to meet expectations. Whether this can be attributed to extraordinary correspondences between public holidays and bad weather is immaterial; the facts of visitor numbers in Alnwick and the District have been devastating.

Sure, commuters will demand more parking spaces, but the prospects of future growth providing future investment are not on the horizon.

If you are using the station regularly, I would suggest you write directly to Northern Rail for an explanation to the low level of service and maintenance, with details of the date of each visit and the lack of any change
It would be interesting to see their response
