    There is an article in today’s herald about the removal of
    the foot bridge in Glen Eden train station.
    I agree that it was large but what are they replacing it with.

    @Patrick Stairs, like other stations have.

    I had a look at the photos in Google StreetView. My, are people being picky. Those ramps looked perfectly fine.

  5. Andy says:

    ingolfson, They were constantly graffitied and the ramps that were supposedly made for disabled access were too difficult for wheelchairs to even get up.
