The group aims to provide a forum for discussion on all issues relating to rail travel to and from Welham Green. It also aims to be a collective voice for ongoing dialogue with the train operating companies in particular West Anglia Great Northern.

The meeting is to be held on Monday, May 14 at 9 Coningsby Close, Welham Green, starting at 7.30pm.

According to the group, concerns raised to date include the lack of basic maintenance at Welham Green Station, the condition of the shelters and litter and graffiti.

The groups says it has been able to update WAGN of the situation on several occasions and claims to have achieved some success with immediate action by railway staff to clear litter and provide clearer up to date information about service alterations.

“We have had meetings with senior WAGN staff about our concerns, and are awaiting a further meeting to consult on the winter timetable arrangements before publication,” a spokesperson for the group said.

“The recent installation of a user-unfriendly ticket machine - with the removal of the Permit to Travel facility and the extremely limited ticket office opening hours - is a cause for concern to many rail travellers.

“Concern has also been expressed at the general lack of station information and poor communication regarding services particularly at weekends or during periods of engineering work.

“We are continuing to put pressure on WAGN to address our concerns and work towards solutions,” the spokesperson added.
