Don't make much difference which side the ticket office is if you need to cross over to the other to get your train.. it's up the ramp or over the bridge...had someone come visit a few weeks ago who could not make the way up from Eagle street and over the bridge... I know that has been the way for donkeys years but surely if you make a major re-construction of the station you would take the chance to improve it for everyone..those who made the deal with Tesco could have, and should have, considered the older less able people of Accrington and those who just visit.
