Station Developments
There were plans for another consultation on the Station and Salisbury square this November. The latest information ( Nov 16th from Larry Heyman of FCC) is: 
 
"The next Stakeholder Event  will relate to plans for changes to the Great North Way and associated highways works. This will be organised by Hertfordshire County Council with support from First Capital Connect. This will take place early in the new year.

In relation to the issue of the train stopping point at the north end of platform 3, in response to passengers' concerns the current situation is to be fully reviewed by First Capital Connect's Head of Operations and the Head of Safety. I will share their conclusions with you as soon as they are available".

In view of the interest shown on November 8th there will be a meeting in the New Year to discuss this idea further
