Yes it's going to be an inconvenience, perhaps a nuisance, but 'misery'? Journalistic hyperbole, just possibly!
Nope, it is misery. As has it been in recent weekends when passengers have been turfed out at the godforsaken hell that is Falkirk Grahamston to get on buses.
Have you seen the state of the passenger bridge there? It looks like the rust is being held together with bird lime. Not ideal when the buses are dropping off passengers on the station side and they have to pile across to the Northbound side. No lift either.
Before all of this work started, Falkirk should have been sorted out as a four platform station with platforms long enough to accommodate The Highland Chieftain the station itself on the passenger overbridge and lifts to all platforms.
It shouldn't be passengers relying on the goodwill of strangers to help them across bridges.
