A Nottingham business owner has expressed his concerns following a decision to close one of Nottingham Railway Station's entrances. The side access point located on Station Street will close on Monday, October 28, in a bid to clamp down on fare dodgers.
Mr Russell explained that he has previously observed the effects of no train passengers passing his business during the rail strikes, which allegedly saw his takings plummet to only 10 per cent of what it normally us. He said: "We've put a lot effort into this place to make it as visible as possible and attract people from the train station.
Mr Russell added that while he appreciates the reasoning behind the decision, the issue could be "simply solved" by the installation of a barrier at the entrance. He also highlighted that he received no notice from EMR regarding the closure. Passengers have also expressed their discontent following the decision. Natalie Cupitt, 39 and from Derbyshire, said: "I don't know how to leave the station any other way. I think it will be very confusing because I just don't understand how you can get to the main entrance to get out.
"I get why they're doing it and I've always wondered how they just gave everyone right of way without having their tickets checked before getting on the train but I think a barrier would be better than closing it altogether." Another passenger, who wished to keep his identity private, said: "It's a stupid idea.
