Mr Graham finally gives a reply to the Railway Triangle, he goes on to tell us that the whole board of 26 unanimously concluded to focus on regeneration potential of the railway triangle, and to improve the existing station. during 2008-2011 they were unable to succeed in either, this only confirms what a lack lustre lot we have running this city, they have no vision of what there could be,I fully support development on the Triangle site and all of the possible jobs that it will bring this can only be good for Gloucester, but it could be so much better if whatever is done on the Triangle includes a mainline station, it would appear that our city fathers have given up when they accept negative replies from Network Rail, this is not the the impression I got from Network Rail, I have included a copy of the letter I had from Network Rail for all to see, I had a meeting with Chris Oldershaw to discuss a station a few years ago, he told me that a station was "not in his remit", I replied that it should be, in business you have to negotiate when you want move forward and you have obstacles standing in the way, it would appear that this city does not have a skilled negotiator, so the city will decline for the lack of a mainline station, good transport links are vital in the modern world, it is just a shame that we have an MP and councils that cannot see what could be gained in the long term.
