Newport’s £28,000,000 eyesore
20100531, 165913 - No commentPassing through Newport station recently I was surprised to see how far the uglyfication processes was going.
I have not left a train at Newport for almost five years, so I can not comment on the why the uglyfication was needed or if it solves their problems, but as a rail passenger passing through I’m left to conclude that if they have chosen to make their station look that ugly I don’t think I want to see the rest of the city.
Am I alone in thinking that if we are spending millions of pounds to upgrade our stations we should be making them more attractive, realise that they are all some-people will see of our towns and cities and make them inviting adverts, and not as in Newport to scare people away.
