OK, there's a hole in the roof, I think the toilets (at least one block) have been closed, there is still the cold and draughty goods shed waiting room on 1/3....but I have heard locally that there are changes to be made on 1/3 to benefit passengers such as a proper waiting room?
Not been down for a while so can anyone fill me in on the details (if there are any) and as Northern "own" the station, why should they be bothered as their franchise might just disappear?
Adds; I reckon Bolton is almost the worst main-line station, for lack of facilities on the platforms Southport takes the prize. But with Bolton so much potential and so little development. Even the "coming retail space" on the top floor hasn't arrived? Also if Gregg's on the bus station can open beyond 8 and still serve a hot sausage roll...why not the station cafe??
Rant over....any news??
