Hull Paragon train station really has become a paragon of solitude serving to disconnect – rather than connect – its customers with the rest of Great Britain and the world! Here we are stuck out on a limb, forgotten as far as train services are concerned.
The train service to and from Hull is a farce; I arrived at Brough station on one occasion to be informed over the Tannoy system “Hull train service to London today has been cancelled”. What use is a service if it cannot be relied upon? Many passengers spend weeks organizing meetings in the capital! Instead of spending £18m on a swish new station perhaps it would have been better to fix the network.
Since the likelihood of that happening is close to zero, an air link to the International Manchester Airport would be beneficial for those seeking to travel far and wide – especially for myself. I have a daughter living in Shannon, Eire and there is no way I can reach her without paying a fortune to fly to Schipol, Holland from Humberside Airport. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a shuttle service from Humberside Airport to Manchester Airport?
So come on Department of Transport! Let’s have a trans-Pennine air-link to Manchester so that we can bypass the jokers that run the train service in Hull and connect us with the rest of humanity.
Please!
