For a town the size of Newmarket it surprises me that there is no-where to buy refreshments or a newspaper at the train station.

Granted the station isn't the biggest, but it always seems to be busy so a shop would no doubt do a roaring trade - particularly when people are travelling to and from work.

Travellers at the moment have to wait until they reach Cambridge before being able to use a shopping facility.

What do you think? Would a shop at the train station prove a beneficial decision?

Most of the smaller stations in this area are rubbish, Must admit newmarket is the worst. The other day turned up to get a train to Bury. Taxi driver told me the trains weren't running that day 'signal problems'. Good job he was there or I would have been waiting there for hours with not a clue what was going on.

Wouldn't have been able to buy a paper either.

That happened to me!! Was going to work and I just sat there wandering why my train had not turned up - with no one to ask. Eventually the next scheduled train arrived and I was half an hour late! No apologies or anything.
