CEREDIGION MP Williams has asked Network Rail to look into complaints from constituents about a leaking roof at Aberystwyth’s railway station.

Mr Williams said the pooling of water at the station has been a problem for some time, and not just in the recent wet weather.

“In the few minutes I was at the station this week I have seen the spectacle of people wading through large puddles when trying to acc­ess the station from the front rather than the side entrance,” he said.

“As the gate is open, it seems reasonable to believe that people are expected to also use this entrance to the station, and they should not have to deal with this problem.

“Aberystwyth station infrastructure is the resp­onsibility of Network Rail and I would exp­ect them to take action immediately over this issue.

“At many of their mainline stations, we are warned of slippery conditions while it is being dealt with, and yet people in Aberystwyth are expected to regularly grapple with this problem without it being resolved.”
