The gov.uk press release says stations will have catering. Which will be welcome - there's nowhere near Ulverston station to get a coffee before travelling, for instance.
Apart from the little blue (Citroen?) van parked outside. I forget its nickname.
And there's further hope;
The tower building at Ulverston train station has been empty and unused for a number of years.
The station is owned by Network Rail and leased by First TransPennine.
Earlier this year they got in touch with architectural company, Input Group.
Input Group, which has worked on a number of design projects for train stations, has put together a plan for the tower building, which is on the eastern side of the main station building.
The plans propose that a cycle hub and a reception room be put on the ground floor and a cafe on the first floor.
Architectural designer for Input Group, Kate McCall, submitted the planning application to South Lakeland District Council last month.
Mrs McCall said: We want to install a first floor cafe and we are also proposing to put in a new entrance on the station side so people can access it easily.
We want to keep the full height to keep the character of the building.
We did initially look into putting two floors in but decided against it.
The tower is a listed building and the planning application involves alterations to both the interior and exterior of the building.
