CAN THE REOPENING OF A RAILWAY STATION BECOME A REALITY? CONTINUED gateway to the National Rail Network for work, business, leisure and tourism. Putting Magor and Undy on the Rail and Geographical Map of Wales and Great Britain. We do not suggest that our own Station would be in direct competition with Severn Tunnel Junction. We propose something uniquely different. We have a unique selling point, that the entire population of the villages of about 9000 can access the centre by foot or cycle in less than 15 minutes. Therefore, unlike Severn Tunnel junction, which is a Parkway. We propose an environmentally friendly Walkway station. In other words, car and congestion unfriendly. Drop off facilities yes for the few, the so called “kiss and drop”. But there is no need for car parking, when that can be avoided. The new plans for enlarged parking at Severn Tunnel Junction serves that desire. We propose a station at the heart of the villages. There is no better heart than the proposed Community Centre site on the B4245 and access to the main bus routes. As a Community Station, profits from ticket sales can be ploughed back into the community. We have an opportunity now to put this case forward, with the billions being spent on electrification. If we don’t get our Station in before the new electric overhead cables, then we may never achieve our aims. We are aiming for a date of March 2018 to open a new station. This timescale is determined by the replacement rail franchises of 2018. We need to be discussing with the likes of First Group about the electric services of the future calling at Magor, so they can build this into their bid. This will be a struggle and from the support already shown, we know the community is behind us. What we need is help and the community standing beside us. As many hands make light work. If you feel you would like to be actively involved and join the committee or just willing to help deliver information, help conduct travel survey’s in your street, please contact us. 16 Neil Farrant Ltd Electrical Contractor 13 Celtic Close, Undy Monmouthshire.
