Susan Elan Jones MP Presents Ruabon
Station Access Petition in Parliament
Susan Elan Jones MP has presented a petition in Parliament this
week which calls for better access to platform 2 at Ruabon
station. Presently, access to the platform can only be gained by
crossing a footbridge with several steps on either side, making it
difficult for passengers with mobility issues, or those carrying
heavy luggage to cross.
The petition from residents in Ruabon „calls on all parties involved to
speed up plans to improve access to the Ruabon railway station either
by replacing the existing bridge with one that allows easy access for all
users, or to add a wheelchair accessible entrance to platform 2.‟
Susan Elan Jones MP said: “I am very pleased to present this important
petition on behalf my constituents in Ruabon. I completely understand
the strength of feeling that this issue has provoked in the village and
how frustrating it must be for those who use the station and find
access to platform 2 problematic. Ruabon is an important station,
connecting people to our wonderful World Heritage Sites and key local
destinations such as Wrexham and Chester and beyond. This problem
needs to be recognised and addressed at the earliest opportunity.”

Petition for Disability and ease of access to Platform 2 at
Ruabon Railway Station
The Ruabon Station event which took place on Friday 29th September 2017
Even though Susan Elan Jones has presented this petition to
Parliament we are sure that this will not be the end of the matter. We
must keep on with the petitions in circulation and may be, even start
one on-line, to carry on the momentum started by Susan.
It is vital that this great, beneficial facility of ours must be there for
everyone to use and enjoy.
Please let Jo, Chair of Friends of Ruabon, know if you need your
completed pages of the petition to be collect or if you need new
sheets, by email to [email protected]; or
