The revised feasibility study conducted by Mott MacDonald seems to me to be seriously flawed; the study is based on 1 train per hour compared with the 2004 study that was based on a service of two or four trains an hour. Obviously a 1 train per hour service is much less attractive for shopping trips. It seems to me that what is needed is a turn-up-and-go, cheap, efficient, accessible, 'metro' service, but the study didn't look into that possibility.
Removal of plans for the new station conflicts with RDC's responsibilities under the Climate Change Act 2008
