Agreed...See also: Rochester and Smethwick Galton Bridge/Smethwick West.
Hmm, from what I can see it will be more difficult to get to for the majority of the local users for whom Angel Road is currently relatively convenient. The document makes much of the walk along Conduit Lane to get to the current entrance. Yes, it isn't a very pleasant road to walk along in rush hour traffic, but the document indicates the initial entrance to the new station will be be opposite Tesco/Ikea, which requires a much longer walk along Conduit Lane for those intending passengers coming from the western part of Angel Road's current catchment area, i.e. roughly between Craig Park and Montagu Road.

Yes, correct, in my experience. A few years ago (but after the major reduction in services calling at Angel Road) I lived about equi-distant from Angel Road, Silver Street and Edmonton Green. For most of the day I'd use Silver Street but Edmonton Green was handy in the peaks because it had additional semi-fast services. But I sometimes used the 09:52 from Angel Road to get to Stratford from where I'd take the DLR to Lewisham, which was handy for where I worked at the time. There were usually a couple of other passengers boarding the 09:52 as well. The afternoon services were also quite useful for going shopping at Stratford.
Good point - it is true that the processes can differ up there (I've obviously been down here too long
Yes they did, although it was applied for some years before the current closure procedures came into force, so they used the 1993 Act provisions.
"21 responses had a common theme in calling for the footbridge at Angel Road station to be dismantled and re-erected at Pilning station on the Great Western Mainline."
Presumably it was all people from the station user group.
The wires at Pilning are probably higher than at Angel Road so as to comply with latest standards, so even if easily dismantlable the footbridge is unlikely to be high enough."21 responses had a common theme in calling for the footbridge at Angel Road station to be dismantled and re-erected at Pilning station on the Great Western Mainline."
