Great looking station Halcyon, I think I have a friend lives near there, I may have to nag her into a trip to see her (to get a pic of the station)

Re: Train Spotters Corner
ÂŁ5m bid for new station at Kenilworth
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-21588825
It's madness that it doesn't have a station, trains whizz by on the single line section between Coventry and Leamington Spa, doubling the track and building a station would be such a benefit to the area. Would probably bring more visitors to Kenilworth castle too.

Re: Train Spotters Corner
l absolutely agree totally Raven because as we know the numbers of train passengers is growing year on year and will grow even further in the next 10 years and we are now seeing the number of Station Train and Track projects being announced all the time due to the strong ongoing demand.
