  1. The “To be, or not to be, a parkway station: Whether ’tis nobler to drive then ride…” link goes straight back to this very page (crashing my RSS reader on the way).

  2. I’ve never understood Didcot station having “Parkway” added. A possible negative effect is that it makes it sound like it’s miles from the town itself when it’s no less central than say Oxford or Derby. Car drivers may equally be disappointed to find that access isn’t straight off a fast dual carriageway, and is the car park really that much bigger than other stations without the Parkway designation?

  4. Andrew S – Re Didcot Parkway, 1800 car spaces is a big car park by any standard.
