Access To The Station Compromised
The new development has diminished easy access to the station by bicycle by failing to meet the Department of Transport's guidelines in regard to cycle access. Before the development cyclists and pedestrians could cross the rail line using at grade crossings. They are to be removed. The only way to cross the rail line in the immediate area will be by the use of lifts. The station has good potential to be connected into the Public Bicycle Network but this has not been implemented, even though "It's part of the Plan".

“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
“Whilst the rights of all as persons are equal, in virtue of their access to reason, their rights in property are very unequal. One man owns his clothes, and another owns a country.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major—perhaps the major—stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“He had kind eyes and hands
and was a friend of sorrow.
Thus they were married.
After all he had compromised her.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
