Default Row over platform width delays Sandhills station reopening.

The guideline is 2.5m. But decoding the article, it looks like Network
Rail wanted to reopen the station before they'd finished all work, and
the 2m width we're talking about is to a temporary construction
hoarding, for which they were presumably hoping to get a waiver.


The idiots at TfL and Merseyrail really ought to be shot. Far better
to have a platform that's 2m wide than no station at all...
