Yeh I agree Accy does need a facelift as do most of the stations in east lancs. If the government in the UK spent as much on rail subsidies as they do on the roads in this country like in other european countries our railways would be up to the same spec as holland or spain etc.. I work for Northern Rail and agree that a little paint and a few flowers would brighten up the stations including Accrington, but then the vandals who frequent our stations at night would only wreck them...To deter these people would involve stations being staffed full time but again this comes down to who will pay for it. Accrington already has CCTV coverage from the local police station but this does not seem to deter the local vandals.
