A Rebuilt Station For Guildford

It is has just been posted on Modern Railways, that Guildford station is to be redeveloped. The report is subtitled.

£150m investment at no cost to tax or fare payer

I think we’ll see a lot more developments like this, where everybody wins. In Guildford’s case, this means a new station building, a transport hub, 445 new homes and 1,600 sq. metres of office space. It also claims 300 jobs will be created.

Look at this aerial view of the station.

The development is to use surplus land around the station. There seems to be a lot of that and a lot of space devoted to car parking.

So an imaginative development would be an improvement. I would like to see homes and offices developed over the station.
