Haxby station
Thanks for your replies - the meeting is being arranged by the local Railfuture branch. Local MP Julian Sturdy (CON) has been running an initiative called Transport Vision for York which has included this station re-opening as part of its plans. As can be seen from the attached link the Labour run City Council is laso looking into the station.
The purpose of the meeting is a chance for the people of Haxby and Wiggington (and Strensall) to get behind the politicians to push for the new station and Railfuture are hoping that a small local group will be formed to take this forward. We will also be inviting Network Rail and Trans Pennine Express as speakers.
The collection of fares point is an intersting one and one that the future operator will have to consider. My understanding is that Network Rail are not allowed to put gates on the station having failed last year (thankfully).
One last thing the date might change so watch this space!
Dave
