Looking out of our front window we can see Altrincham train station. Wandering into town we often go through the station too, across their permanently packed car park. It doesn’t seem right to us that people are driving just a few miles to park up, then get a train, only to jump in a taxi or on to a bus at the other end. It all adds up to a big waste of time,...
