Reopen Pilning Station's 2nd platform and make it a request stop

Closed 763 signatures

What the petition asks

Great Western Railway run a shoddy service at Pilning Station, to artificially lower passenger stats. Network Rail shut the 2nd platform, without public consultation, to avoid paying for a replacement footbridge.

Order Network Rail to reopen the 2nd platform & order GWR to run more trains.

There are 3,647 living in Pilning, who could be using this station if it was not being deliberately hobbled by GWR:

The Pilning Station page on Wikipedia shows that Network Rail removed a footbridge during electrification works, rather than replace it:
