Spotted, lunchtime Saturday 2nd February on Marsden station, some workmen who appear to be engaged in the task of lengthening platform 1. Compare this photo with the photo at the top of this page.
Not that we’re complaining. Hopefully they will move on to lengthening the other short platforms along the route, including those at Slaithwaite.
Perhaps it will enable Northern Rail to run longer trains at busy times. Let’s hope so.
