Rejected petition: Build a Trainstation At Wantage And Grove
Rejected on
It would be nice to have a station built so that workers who commute to London would not have to take a bus to Didcot Parkway Station to get a train.
Wantage is growing at it would be nice to not have to go to Didcot Parkway Station just to get a train. There are also an existing train line that runs through Wantage and Grove that could be used for the new train station. There are many other people who have come to me about having a train station that is in Wantage/Grove, and I believe that it would be beneficial if there was a train station or a new train line, that connects it to others, in this area.
