There s no improvment to the access on the East bound platform wih the new works although there has been a long estblished ramp to that side of the station
In fairness I'm not really sure how they could have improved access at that side given the gradiant from Blackburn Road to the platform
The new building looks really good but it seems to have been ready (part from the wind turbine) for the last 6 - 8 weeks and the car park for slightly longer. I guessmthe car park is not open due to some issue regading liability or such like
As somebody who commutes daily Preston the issue of communication re late trains etc is still an issue having onl been informed about 5 times over the past 3 years when trains are running lateand yes we still have the issue of do I get on the skanky slow train and change at Blackburn or hope the fast train will turn up, nothings changed although sometimes they do inform the passengers on the slow train that the fast train will leave first
