I’ve commented before about the danger posed by the huge gap between the train and platform edge at Walkden railway station. At best, it’s a huge inconvenience for anyone with even the slightest of mobility problems. At worst, it is a serious accident waiting to happen.
Northern Rail have now recognised this and taken decisive action by… erm, putting up a poster on the stairs up to the station.
This doesn’t actually solve the problem at all, and I hope it does not take a serious injury to spur Network Rail and Northern Rail into action on this issue. I suspect the real issue here is that no-one wants to spend the money – and posters are much cheaper than engineering works!
