Fears new railway station in Preston would become 'muggers paradise' without staffed ticket office
A new railway station set to be built in a Preston suburb should have a staffed ticket office – and must not be allowed to cause parking problems on surrounding streets.
When the plans for the station were first unveiled, they did indicate that it would boast a staffed booking and information office – as well as toilets, a waiting area and vending machines. A spokesperson for the group said that it was “looking at how we can move staff from behind glass windows in ticket offices to provide face-to-face assistance elsewhere on the station, where they are closer to customers and better placed to help them”.
“We need to be…conscious that we don’t want to turn that site and beyond [it] into a huge car park that [causes difficulties for] people getting in and out. We want it to be used, but we also don’t want it to have a detrimental effect on the local area by having cars here, there and everywhere,” Cllr Potter said.
