Jonathan Djanogly Member of Parliament for the Huntingdon Constituency has met with First Capital Connect along with Little Paxton and St Neots North County Councillor Ken Churchill to discuss issues at St Neots train station.
Mr Djanogly said,
'I have been aware for quite sometime that some constituents are unhappy with various aspects of the train station in St Neots. I am pleased that First Capital Connect has agreed to go away and look at the pricing structure on the route as St Neots is currently one of the most expensive car parks on the line.'
'It is also good news that the capacity of the trains is set to increase as of May by about 15 percent and I am hopeful that this will create a more comfortable commute for the hundreds of people that travel up to London everyday.'
'We also discussed the proposals for a new bridge which will cater for disabled people and other proposed improvements.'
This was echoed by Cllr Churchill who added:
'It is pleasing that the car park charges are going to be looked at as I know that this is a large source of discontent locally. I am also continuing to work with the Police and the County Council to try and find a sustainable long term solution to the parking problems in local residential areas. I know that budgets are stretched at the moment but it is important that we take a considered approach.' "
