Many City fans will now be aware of the reduced services to St James Park Station on Match days when it coincides with a fixture of our sporting neighbours down the track at Sandy Park(Digby or Newcourt).
For a station next to a sporting stadium not being utilised is a travesty in my view. Platform 2 has been deemed an issue due to it's short length that requires front carrage only use, with exit and entrance and therefore viewed a safety issue and time delay on the network with the volumes that use it. GWR therefore now suspends services at this station
for football supporters when fixtures clash and requests them to walk from Exeter Central over a mile away, not ideal for many. This issue will continue indefinatly unless an improvement to the station takes place. I've therefore created a petition to encourage the extension of platform 2 for the benifit of all. Please sign. Thank you.
