Reports this morning that the improbably named Lord Adonis has blocked plans to fast-track a new railway station at the Ricoh Arena as part of an upgrade to the Nuneaton to Coventry train line. There would appear to be a number of concerns about the viability of the whole line which have led the Peer to decide to only fund a standard business case process.
The upshot is that there won't be a station at the Ricoh before 2014. At the present rate of progress, we could be playing Nuneaton Boro by then.
Given the need to reduce the amount of car travel wherever possible, whoever dropped the original plans for a station at the ground ought to be taken outside and have their own personal climate changed. Short sighted thinking given the amount the stadium originally cost to build.
