A TRAIN operator and a rail lobby group have embarked on a campaign to improve stations on the West Coast Main Line, including car parking at Oxenholme.
West Coast Rail 250, the biggest train lobby group in the country, launched its document West Coast: A Strategy for the 21st Century in the House of Commons this week.
The West Coast Main Line runs from London Euston to Glasgow but is currently closed through South Lakeland at weekends until June for engineering work to allow 125mph trains to use it.
The lobby group wants to take the opportunity offered by the upgrade of the line to make further improvements, including at stations, and is seeking a commitment from the Government on a number of issues.
The report says that additional car parking is an urgent necessity.
