Are we there yet Dad..? A crowded Norfolk platformNorfolk's electrified rail link between King's Lynn and King's Cross is one of the county's few success stories when it comes to public transport.
So not surprisingly, city types have been scratching their heads for a way to cock things up.
Now property developers have found just the wheeze. Sell off the overspill car park at Lynn station, which opened three years ago, for housing.
This will deprive hundreds of commuters of somewhere to park. It will also turn yet another potentially useful piece of land into an abandoned eyesore, as the slump in house building means no-one's likely to build on it.
Who owns the piece of land concerned..? British Rail (Residuary) Ltd.
And who owns them..? Why, the Labour government which wants to encourage more people to use trains, invest in better rail links and get train operators to invest in improving services and facilities. That's who.

Yup - if it's not broken then break it, and claim credit for fixing it so that it doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteI always go via Lynn to London as i have given up on Norwich. Why would they sell off the car park, sounds like a dodgy deal to me.
