East Midlands Railway has been criticised for a lack of communication
The decision to temporarily shut the footbridge at Nottingham Station has been branded “extreme” by the leader of the City Council – who is meeting bosses to voice concerns about the change. East Midlands Railway stopped all access to platforms one to six from the footbridge, which connects Station Street to Queen’s Road, at the end of October.
"This seems like a really extreme thing to do. I don’t think you take this kind of dramatic action without thinking of the consequences. I have been inundated with emails from taxi drivers, residents, local businesses, because it is having a massive impact for them.” Black cab driver Mohammad Khal said: “Customers are coming out of the station, the main entrance, and they don’t know where the taxis are because we are already well-hidden. This entrance was our living. We hope that the authorities consider the spaces for taxis. Normally every other station has it right where people are coming out of the station.”
