Rail Breakthrough
Dave Thompson tries the new lift out


Rail travellers can now use Warrington Central Station after major refurbishment works included passenger lifts on the east- and west-bound tracks. WDP Chairman Dave Thompson recalls one horrendous journey where he was forced to use a mail cart due to access difficulties when returning from Nottingham to Warrington. Dave praised the efforts of Euro MP Brian Simpson and the team from First TransPennine Express.
