Do they still throw everone out of Newcastle station until 1.30am. Aren't GNER responsible for our safety?
Answers:
no idea, but maybe worth sending a note to GNER asking them to clarify
I think it might be network rail who throw you out.There maybe several reasons for this.security.keep the drunks and dossers out.station cleaning.but if you have a valid ticket they should let you in
It depends if there is a problem with beggers and homeless - the vast majority of stations close overnight with no access to the platforms
they are entitled to clean their station and turn you out whenever they like., and why moan about it.?. catch the 2200 train. simple.!! not forgetting, if you have brought a day return, and catch the 0200 train.. you are trespassing and liable to prosecution, as your ticket will be out of date..also if you have no ticket, they can have you done too.
what you have to remember is that unfortunately G.N.E.R does not own Newcastle Station, it is owned in fact by Network Rail, and any decision to evict anyone is down to them.
have you actually been removed from the station yourself or is this something you have heard from someone else?if so i would write to customer services at Network Rail to find out why?
that other person is wrong the station IS run by GNER.I used to work to national rail so i know. Unfortunatly no, it is not theyre responsibility to look out for your safety. They close the station after the last train around 10pm..the staff go home so apart from cleaners there is nobody there! they reopen around 2am (this is classed as 1st train) where night staff start.so its not a case of they dont care.its that the staff like anyone else have homes to go to.
