Filthy loos and too little information for rail users
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Rail passengers are having to put up with dirty lavatories in stations and a lack of travel information, said a report published yesterday.
Just 30 per cent of stations in eastern England presented a good overall impression to passengers. "We will work to ensure passengers see improvements," said the Rail Users' Consultative Committee for Eastern England, which compiled the report.
A total of 179 stations were inspected. Some lacked facilities for the disabled, others failed to provide service announcements or timetable information posters.
Salvaging Britain's "crisis-hit" transport system will cost more than £200bn over the next 10 years, including £79bn for local transport, the Confederation of British Industry said.
