Marks Tey is a good small interchange railway station. But it isn’t step-free and Greater Anglia have spent lot of money on adding a new waiting room on platform 2/3. Maybe they could of spend money on replacing the concrete footbridge and replace it with a new one and to add lifts or ramps so it platforms 2/3 can be step-free accessible. Especially for disabled people and parents with babies on push prams.
Good point about the footbridge thats something that really should be looked into however there are some added complications of put a footbridge with lifts in. The two main problems are the mainline platforms firstly the down London Bound Platform being quite narrow it's not as such straight forward to put a new bridge with Lifts in and even on the Up Platform there is little room for manoeuvre due to the waiting room being located close to the footbridge.
Nicely captured the ex-Northern units in their last month. All but three have gone off for scrap now, the remaining ones are decommissioned.
Thanks. Yep correct and the last two will be off to scrap in Newport soon
Nice 👍
