marple train station

[Water Rat]

I stand, sit, lean and lurch corrected - absolutely right Sheffield is the place to go for easy access!

Obviously a semi-senior moment!

Mind you - still can't get back off the station - maybe get off at Strines?

'Wheelchair access is only available going to Manchester'

No, it's only available arriving from Manchester, surely?

[Water Rat]

An intersting point Mr M - apart from when the station is manned you take your risks on crossing the line.  Wheelchair access is only available going to Manchester - maybe it is expected that you do not return having been mugged there thus saving the need to report car crime in the Marple Station car park?

Being serious for a moment Marple scores low on the access side of things.  Have a look at the following link.

On the subject of Marple station, what arrangements, if any, are made for disabled passengers to get onto the Manchester bound platform if they are unable to cross the bridge?

[Mr Mansfield]

Is this car park Policed by GMP or BTP

[sgk]

Yes, it's free to use.  

Remains open throughout, as it doesn't have any gate/bar to block night use.

hello,

anyone know if the car-park opposite marple train station (next to Basmati) is free to use?  And does it remains open overnight?

thank you
